With much hoopla an announcement is scheduled and when the day comes the hype disappoints. The markets and the dollar responded to the promise of a stronger economy, more jobs, deregulation, lower taxes, and repatriation of offshore corporate cash. Very little of any of that is happening and the things that have happened are causes for uncertainty. And, lack of certainty in Washington hurts the dollar. Reuters writes that U.S. dollar gains are being held back by lack of clarity on reforms. The dollar will rise only slightly over the coming year on waning expectations for sweeping tax cuts and several rate rises from the Federal Reserve, according to foreign exchange forecasters who say the risks are skewed more to the downside. After surging a little over 30 percent over the last five years, the dollar index — which measures the currency’s value against a basket of six major currencies — has fallen more than 5 percent this year. Growing political tension in Washington over Donald Trump’s presidency has raised worries of delays in the U.S. administration’s efforts to implement sweeping tax cuts, and has pressured the dollar. The consensus of currency traders is that it is that Trump has a long road ahead of him digging out from scandals and possibly impeachable offenses relating to Russia hacking the election to accomplishment of his campaign promises. He has not demonstrated an ability to work with congress and will likely be an increasingly isolated president. The dollar will be one of the casualties of his continuing problems.

Growing political tension in
Washington over Donald
Trump’s presidency has raised
worries of delays in the U.S.
administration’s efforts to

and has pressured the dollar.

The consensus of currency
traders is that it is that Trump
has a long road ahead of him
digging out from scandals and

Expectations versus
Reality

17. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
Business Insider writes
that reality never met
expectations in regard to
Trump, repeal of the
Affordable Care Act, tax cuts
and the rest.

18. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
A united Republican Congress
and presidency had increased
the odds of fiscal stimulus
which, coupled with monetary
tightening already underway

19. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
created the potential for
meaningful fiscal and
monetary policy divergence
between the United States and
other major developed
countries.

20. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
As we explained at the time,
such a policy mix was likely to
boost the greenback against
other major currencies.

21. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
Five months later, the dollar
has instead fallen 3.8% on a
trade-weighted basis.

22. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
Trump’s plan was to repeal the
Affordable Care Act and
replace it with an alternative
that would have reduced
benefits and greatly reduced
the cost to the government.
That did not fly.

23. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
Then the border-adjusted tax
was going to help find the
money to cut corporate taxes.
That also did not fly.

24. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
In each case a substantial
number of Republicans as well
as virtually all Democrats
opposed these measures and
they died.

25. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
If Trump cannot get the first
steps of his plan in place how
can he accomplish the rest?

26. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
And especially how can he go
forward without the spending
cuts and extra income that his
defeated measures would
have provided.

27. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
Now there is no certainty that
Trump and his agenda can go
forward

28. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
but there is certainty of
investigation by a special
prosecutor

29. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
as well as House and Senate
committees into whether or
not members of Trump’s team
colluded with the Russians to
hack the election in Trump’s
favor.

30. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/lack-of-certainty-in-washington-hurts-the-dollar/
It will in all likelihood be an
uncertain year in Washington
and not a good year for the
dollar.
