“Donald Trump wants to be a weak-dollar president. But he’s running on a strong-dollar platform,” Bloomberg reports.

“That’s the prevailing view of Wall Street economists who’ve run the numbers on Trump’s second-term plans. Tariffs on US trade partners, and tax cuts that could push inflation and interest rates higher, add up to a mix that would encourage the greenback to rise, they reckon – all else being equal.”
