The U.S. dollar is experiencing its most significant surge in nearly three years, maintaining its upward trajectory amid new trade tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

The yen hit a four-month low against the dollar, further sliding as Japan's central bank signaled a pause on interest rate hikes. Trade-related maneuvers saw the greenback gaining against the Swiss franc and Canada's loonie following Trump's tariff hikes.

Despite Trump's ongoing criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing his appointment of being a 'mistake,' the dollar remained robust. Analysts maintain a short-term positive outlook on the dollar, especially with the euro facing headwinds from perceived trade imbalances with the U.S.
