The U.S. dollar hit a six-month low Monday as President Donald Trump’s shifting tariff policies stoked investor concerns about U.S. assets, according to Bloomberg. The dollar extended its decline for a fifth day as Trump’s temporary tariff reprieve offered brief market relief but was overshadowed by his warning that the exemption would not last. The continued selloff has raised concerns of a regime change, as investors question its traditional role as a safe haven during periods of stress and geopolitical tension. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.4% Monday and is down 6% year-to-date, marking its steepest annual decline since 2017.
