Dollar Dips to Decade Low Against Swiss Franc on U.S. Asset Selling
The U.S. dollar fell to a 10-year low of 0.8078 Swiss francs as investors abandoned U.S. assets in favor of safe-haven currencies such as the Swiss franc, yen, and euro. The fall comes following market uncertainty regarding U.S. trade policies, which has prompted a global sell-off in bonds and stocks.

Key Highlights:
✅ Market Volatility: Wall Street shares were dumped by investors after a short-lived relief rally prompted by President Trump's suspension of tariffs.
✅ Gold Shot Higher: The yellow metal reached an all-time high as confidence in U.S. economic stability ebbed.
✅ Swiss Franc Gains Strength: The SNB continues to be wary, as a strengthening franc might affect inflation. ✔ U.S.-China Trade War Escalates: China imposed higher tariffs on U.S. merchandise to 125%, again hurting the dollar's safe-haven status. ✔ Bond Market Reaction: 10-year U.S. Treasury yields experienced their largest weekly spike since 2001, indicating investor doubt.

With world markets responding to changing trade policies, experts forecast ongoing volatility in the currency and commodities markets.
