History may rhyme, but this time it’s playing in fast-forward. Investors recognise how this tale ends. After Donald Trump backed down from his tariff threats against Europe, the “sell America” trade gave way to renewed appetite for U.S. assets. The dollar strengthened—but unlike the three-week rally in April and May, this rebound lasted just a single day.
The rebound in US stock indices from their April lows was strikingly swift. Simultaneously, non-residents hedged their currency exposure by selling dollars, a move that propelled EURUSD past 1.17—a level around which it has since consolidated.
