The potential for significant currency market volatility looms as President-elect Trump threatens to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, with strategists warning that these moves may serve more as negotiation tactics than actual policy. Analysts predict that such tariffs could lead to a stronger U.S. dollar and increased pressure on foreign currencies, particularly the Mexican peso, which could see dramatic shifts in response to tariff announcements. The market anticipates a prolonged negotiation process, with the possibility of retaliatory measures complicating the landscape further.

Analysts suggest that Trump’s actions are a reminder of his influence over the markets.
