💵 📉 **Dollar has further to fall, says Goldman Sachs chief economist**

“_A weaker dollar, by making exports cheaper, would also help narrow the U.S. trade deficit and help buffer the economy from recession. But Hatzius notes the drivers of dollar weakness matter and reduced appetite for U.S. assets could offset the impact of a weaker currency on financial conditions._”

The S&P 500 has tumbled 14 percent since Trump’s inauguration, the stock market's worst start to a presidency in more than a century, according to an analysis released Monday by Bespoke Investment Group (per Investopedia.) The dollar is down 10 percent since Trump’s inauguration, per WaPo. Pretty much all the damage has been done since 'Liberation Day' on April 2."

"Per Reuters, it even raised its annual growth forecast for the United States at that time to 2.7 percent, citing 'robust labor markets and accelerating investment.' At that stage, the only cloud on this gloriously sunny horizon was an oblique warning to world leaders that any 'intensification of protectionist policies' would damage trade and investment and rock global markets.

"The International Monetary Fund will officially downgrade global growth forecasts this morning in response to the swirling trade war and severe market turbulence triggered by Donald Trump’s on-off tariffs. ...
