Trump's Tariffs Send Dollar To 3-Year Low And Gold Prices To Another Record -- Here's What It Means

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Trump explained in 2017 his belief the strong dollar makes it so "our companies can't compete" in foreign markets as cheaper foreign currency makes American firms' prices in foreign markets less competitive, eating into margins of profits collected abroad.
30% : Trump has been less forthcoming on his thoughts on the dollar during his second term, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in February the Trump administration wants "the dollar to be strong," but what they "don't want is other countries to weaken their currencies, to manipulate their trade."
28% : Trump made clear in his first term he wants a weaker dollar, declaring in 2017 "our currency is too strong and it's killing us" and saying in 2019 he was not "thrilled" with the "strong dollar."
