Outlook for the U.S. Dollar in 2025

There is a strong outlook for the U.S. dollar, driven primarily by the anticipated effects of U.S. elections and trade policies. The potential implementation of tariffs and renewed trade conflicts could propel the dollar to new highs, particularly as these issues remain unpriced in the FX market. The impacts of these developments are expected to vary based on the economic composition of other currencies, especially those reliant on manufacturing. Countries more focused on manufacturing may face greater vulnerabilities in response to trade conflicts, impacting their currency's stability compared to those with service-oriented economies.
