If history repeated Trump might hurt dollar
Nov 6 (Reuters) -If history repeats itself, a second Donald Trump presidency could hurt the dollar, which fell over the duration of his first term and could so again, and there is a chance that he might talk it down too.
Between January 2017 and January 2021 when Trump was President, the trade weighted dollar lost around 6 percent in value. The dollar index - which is widely followed and traded - fell almost 12 percent.
The USD index, which is 58 percent euro, isn't a great store of the dollar's value though, and its underperformance may be more closely related to what was happening in the eurozone at the time.
Regardless of that, the dollar did drop and there were periods when Trump actively talked it down, which even spurred speculation that the U.S. might abandon its strong dollar policy.
That did not happen, and may not happen this time either. But there is cause to fear another period where he berates the advantages that a weaker currency affords China and the eurozone, at the expense of the greenback.
His issue with the auto industry in Europe has raised concerns about tariffs that could hurt the single currency. Should this threat weigh further on the euro, it will give the U.S. leader more reason to object to the increasing advantage that Europe's exporters will gain, and therefore more chance he talks the dollar down again.
