I came to Thailand with a Canadian Peso to 31 baht and now it just bounced back a little to 23.

One must see it from Donalds point of view. A lower Dollar means cheaper exports from the US and vice versa making imports more expensive.

Seen from this angle, of course "the Dollar is great" for Donald.

The US$ has "tanked" massively since Jan 15. As technically "oversold", some of the recent losses may be recovered within a technical reaction. Currently happening. For those, wanting to part with their US$, it may be an opportunity to gradually "unload" US$ while the upward "technical correction" takes place.

If not, if the US$ drops below 0.76 versus the Swiss Franc (CHF) immediate action would be advisable. (Not likely in the short term).

It is important to remember, that the current US administration wants the Dollar lower. It is not advisable to bet against it.

The dollar index is down 10% this year as Trump's tariff flip-flops erode investor confidence. Markets are seeking alternatives to the once-reliable safe haven, hurting Americans and destabilizing global finance.

The Baht however is down to the Dollar since the election of Trump 8%

So, then Thailand looks the only smart ones.

As long as Trump and his goons control the government, the dollar will decline.

Donald can also move some of his offshore holdings back to America and make a tidy profit.

The bastion of capitalism now has a capitalist president who's main focus is capitalism. Wasn't America always heading this way? It just happened to be Donald. 🙂
