US dollar tanks as Trump’s dramatic tariff U-turn stuns markets

It’s been a barely believable few days in financial markets since President Trump unveiled the details of his reciprocal tariffs during his so-called “Liberation Day” on 2nd April. Risk assets crashed on the realisation that the tariffs would be significantly more aggressive than anyone had been anticipating. The dramatic 90-day pause to all trade levies (China aside) has triggered a fresh bout of volatility in markets, and some stocks indices posted among their largest one-day rallies this century.
We’ve seen a non-typical reaction in financial markets, however. The traditional safe-havens, US Treasuries and the dollar, have sold-off aggressively, with investors seemingly losing faith in American exceptionalism. The euro has emerged as a de facto safe-haven, and EUR/USD has soared to its strongest position in three years. What do our analysts make of the chaotic week in markets? And what might happen next?
