Billionaire Hedgefonds Investor Ray Dalio, author of the new book How Lands Go Broke, discusses President Trumps trade policy and the value of the US dollar.
The US dollar experienced a volatile trading day after the US on Monday to attack Israel in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The dollar was reinforced during the trade session on Monday morning, and rose no less than 0.71% as investors flowed to the Greenback and reached the highest level since May, according to the WSJ Dollar Index, which the dollar measures against a basket with currency.
When the afternoon approached, the dollar gave up that win and dropped by more than 0.3%during the middle of the afternoon trade.
The Dia of the Dollar took place after Dovish comments from the Governor of the Federal Reserve Michelle Bowman suggested that the Central Bank could lower the interest as soon as its meeting next month.

Last week, the Federal Reserve held its benchmark Federal Fund goal The aim of a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, with reference to economic uncertainty in the midst of imminent rates that consumer prices could fall wider.
FED chairman Jerome Powell noted that the labor market is roughly on or near maximum employment and that inflation is somewhat above the 2% longer goal of the FED, so that the central bank remains in position to act if the economic conditions deteriorate.
Bowman spoke at a research conference in Prague, the Czech Republic, and said that the central bank will have opportunities to revise more inflation and labor market data prior to their next meeting, which could open the door for the first-class reduction in 2025.

“If upcoming data demonstrates that inflation will continue to evolve favorably, with upward pressure that is limited to goods prices, or if we see signs that the softer expenditure is overflowing in weaker labor market conditions in our policy discussions and reflected in our deliberations,” Bowman said.
“If the inflation pressure continues, I would support in reducing the policy percentage as soon as our next meeting to bring it closer to the neutral environment and to maintain a healthy labor market,” Bowman said.
Her comments come after another Fed governor, Christopher Waller, said last week that the Fed could lower rates from July.
