While investors have hit the gates about fears of a A financial crisis belonging to the tariffA rare division has been opened between the dollar and the returns that the America’s government pays for its debts.
While this technology is somewhat, this means that The green back collapses At the same time with the high borrowing costs.
Indeed, this trend has sparked bumpy investors, who notice that the main financial scales usually do the opposite by moving side by side.
Worse than that, stock markets have been beaten since the trade war was launched by Donald Trump a wave of economic turmoil.
Completely, the falling dollar and emerging areas reflect the changing financial scene in America, where the US President’s tariff was set. A safe haven in the at risk country.
Christian Keeler notes in Barclays to what extent the United States has fallen since Trump has increased his trade war earlier this month.
“The process of selling parallel in stocks, rates and currency is typical for emerging markets, but not for the main safe market markets in the world,” he says.
Investors are accustomed to the idea that the United States was the best place for their money in good or bad times, giving America the “high concession” to control the world’s backup currency.
This means that the costs of borrowing and the ease of access to a flood of foreign money to invest in the states, which makes the country richer and help its economy to grow faster.
But suddenly, investors operate their appearance on the United States, and get rid of the dollar and other assets at the same time.
It represents an amazing reflection of the usual patterns of behavior, and penetrates what has become seen as something close to the global financing base.
The result is that the revenues of the dollar and bonds, which are largely inclined to move side by side, are sharply diverged.
Even after the president suspended the most aggressive definitions on almost all countries from China, the markets failed to comply.
Since April 2, which Trump called “Liberation Day”, the dollar has decreased more than 4 percent, and the return on American bonds has increased for 10 years from 4.2 % to 4.5 %.
Keeler says the movements are a great break with history.
“The decrease in the value of the dollar in response to the increase in the American tariff-the opposite of the doctrine of economic school books-and the US Treasury Department in parallel with stock losses-in contrast to safe behavior-has cast a wider light on the comprehensive dynamics resulting from the Trump tariff policy.”
With damage to definitions, the economics of textbooks dictate that the dollar is strengthening. Likewise, the recession expectation should lead to low interest rates, including bond returns.
“The revenues of the US Treasury increased as a result of foreign holders who demanded a higher bonus to compensate for concerns about the treasury as a tool free of sponsorship -free sponsorship,” says Keeler.
Gerard Leon, economist at Netwealth, notes that America’s dominance in the past 25 years has been partially originated from the lack of alternatives.
For example, the Deutsche Mark alternative to Germany has canceled with one safe haven, while Japan is no longer seen as the sound market that was once.
Also, many pillars have been expelled in recent years.
Quantum dilution (QE)The purchases of the Federal Reserves paid to its climax about 9 trillion dollars (6.9 trillion pounds), has long disappeared with the central bank’s decline in its public budget.
When the policy was essential to the central bank’s operations after the financial crisis, the new qa waves will push the dollar down at the same time that the return of the return is shown, which leads to a decrease in borrowing costs in this process.
The dominance of American stocks also affected the performance of the dollar, as it is called The wonderful seven technology companies I absorbed money in the United States. But this has also been shaken by the trade war.
Meanwhile, the US trade deficit from companies and families in the United States stems to buy goods from abroad.
Currently, more than five debts of the US government, which is valued at $ 36 trillion, is funded by buyers abroad.
If Trump succeeds in crushing the trade deficit of the United States, it will also reduce the flow of dollars that find its way to the American bond market.
It is important, there are limits to the steps that the authorities can take to restore the belief in the American economy.
For example, Jerome Powell in the Federal Reserve can buy bonds to support markets.
But it is difficult for him to shoot QE again on fears that it can rule inflation along with the definitions.
What’s more is that the Federal Reserve cannot do anything to reduce the impact of Trump’s irregular decision -making, as Krishna says at Evercore ISI, who described the last sale as “almost unprecedented”.
“Through rear liquidity, the Federal Reserve can limit prices to exceed prices,” he says. “But the paid capital flows cannot prevent confidence in the American economic policy industry.”
Ultimately, the state of the backup that gives America such power in the world depends on confidence. Once this trust is questioned, it risk becoming a prophecy of self -realization.

He says: “The unconventional policies that give up public state resources and growth expectations can cause bond investors to assume that government debt is free of risk.”
“The collapse in the relationship between the US Treasury revenues and the dollar highlights investor concerns about the Donald Trump’s policy agenda.”
“The damage of the trade war can be expedited to deteriorate in the American financial position.
“The great uncertainty will lead to a reduction in investment and consumption, which leads to a sharp slowdown in the American economy.”
More falling in the dollar and increasing yield, with the amazing difference in those decisive economic indicators that are preparing to exacerbate.
“These developments are very important to watch because they indicate a possible transformation in how the United States is considered a destination for capital flows in general,” says Keeler in Barclays.
“This is run not only through the policies of the maximum tariffs, but also the concepts associated with the rest of the world to provide the dollar as a reserve currency.
“When the proposals of customs tariffs and foreign policy became increasingly radical, these ideas began to look less as well. This in turn requires the rest of the world to reconsider the United States as an investment destination.”
