An analyst warns that a recent Trump tariff ruling has the potential to weaken the US dollar.

21 Feb, 02:11 — 21 Feb, 14:00

Why this matters

Tariffs are taxes on imported goods that can significantly impact international trade, consumer prices, and the value of a nation's currency. A weakening dollar can make imports more expensive but exports cheaper, affecting businesses and consumers, while changes in Treasury yields reflect investor sentiment and can influence borrowing costs across the economy.
