US Dollar, Treasury Yields Face Confidence Crisis Amid Market Sell-Off

Amid ongoing turbulence in global markets, the U.S. dollar and government bonds are facing significant sell-offs, raising concerns about America's economic stability. The U.S. dollar index has fallen approximately 3% over the past week, reaching a near seven-month low, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury has surged to 4.57%, reflecting a major sell-off in Treasuries. Investors are increasingly losing faith in the U.S. as a safe haven for their money, which could lead to higher borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. Analysts suggest that this shift might be a response to President Trump's unpredictable trade policies, which are shaking investor confidence. As the S&P 500 index also experiences volatility, consumer sentiment has dropped significantly, indicating broader economic unease. Experts warn that these trends may undermine the historical premium U.S. assets held in the global market.
