The dollar’s wild ride, and is a US recession inevitable in 2025?

April 25, 2025 • Ebury FX Talk • Season 6 • Episode 8

The US dollar collapsed to its lowest level in three years this week, with investors still reeling from the unveiling of (and subsequent delay to) President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs.

We also look ahead to the release of next week’s highly important US GDP report. Is the world’s largest economy on course to post a shock contraction in the first quarter? And is a US recession inevitable in 2025?
