周一,美元指数跌至98.2,为2022年2月以来的最低水平,因为对美联储独立性的担忧给美元带来了压力。周五,美国国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈塞特透露,特朗普总统正在探讨解雇美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的可能性。一天前,特朗普在社交媒体上发帖称,鲍威尔的免职“速度不够快”,同时加大了央行降息的压力。这些言论加剧了人们对美国货币政策政治化的担忧,可能会损害美联储的信誉,动摇投资者对美元的信心。时机尤其敏感,因为包括美元和国债在内的美国资产已经面临压力,并且由于政府政策的不确定性越来越大,越来越被视为不太可靠的避风港。4月份迄今为止,美元已下跌约4.6%,对欧元、日元和瑞士法郎的跌幅最大。
The dollar index fell to 98.2 on Monday, the lowest since February 2022, as concerns over the Federal Reserve's independence weighed on the greenback. On Friday, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett revealed that President Trump is exploring the possibility of firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell. A day earlier, Trump posted on social media that Powell’s removal “cannot come fast enough,” while intensifying pressure on the central bank to cut interest rates. Such remarks have fueled worries about the politicization of US monetary policy, potentially undermining the Fed’s credibility and shaking investor confidence in the dollar. The timing is particularly sensitive, as US assets, including the dollar and Treasury bonds, are already under pressure and increasingly seen as less reliable safe havens due to mounting uncertainty over the administration’s policies. So far in April, the greenback has lost roughly 4.6%, with its steepest declines against the euro, yen, and Swiss franc.
