As the second half of 2025 begins, investors are keeping a careful eye on Donald Trump’s plan for a 10 percent global tariff. This has already caused a lot of worry in currency markets. As the election in November gets closer, traders are getting ready for possible changes in policy that could make the dollar go up and down against the euro. Trade disputes during the Trump administration have shaken investor confidence and made people less willing to take risks throughout the world. If these tariffs go into effect after the election, analysts expect the value of USD to EUR to become more unstable again.
USD to EUR: Between Political Moves and Central Bank Moves
In 2025, the dollar was relatively strong against the euro, thanks to consistent Federal Reserve policies and cautious optimism about the US economy. But this balance is not very strong. On the other hand, the European Central Bank has said it will take its time lowering interest rates. If Trump’s talk about tariffs gets stronger, it might speed up the flow of money to places that are seen as safe, which would upset this fragile equilibrium and put more pressure on the euro.
US investors need to be wary in the next few months. In the forex markets, currency hedging and short-term options may become popular strategies. But the fundamental reason for currency movement will be how clear or unclear Trump’s trade plans are.
Politics and policy are so closely linked that one headline might make the difference between making money and going into a panic in USD to EUR markets.
