USA Dollar Continues to Fall - Joe Blogs

[TexasTowelie]

The U.S. dollar has continued to fall in 2025 and is now down by almost 10% for the year, putting it on track for one of its worst annual performances in decades.

In this video, I look at why the dollar keeps weakening, what this tells us about the U.S. economy, and why currency markets are sending a very different message to the one you often hear in the headlines.

We’ll break down:
• Why interest-rate expectations matter more than today’s growth numbers
• The impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts and what markets think comes next
• How large U.S. budget deficits and rising debt costs affect the dollar
• Whether trade policy and tariffs are playing a role
• What a weaker dollar actually means for inflation, consumers, exports, and U.S. companies

This isn’t just about foreign exchange — it’s about confidence, capital flows, and the real direction of the U.S. economy.
