USD exchange rate today in the world

The US dollar traded near a two-and-a-half week high against major currencies on Wednesday, largely due to the spillover effects of US President Donald Trump's new tariff policies.

Meanwhile, copper hit a record high overnight after US President Donald Trump widened the global trade war by threatening to impose a 50% tariff on copper. Trump also announced new tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, which weighed on Wall Street on Tuesday, with futures pointing to continued weakness on Wednesday.

While the harsh tariff policy has caused uncertainty, the market seems to have started to adapt to the US negotiating "tactics" of playing "deadlines", such as the August 1 deadline for applying new tariffs. This has helped to reduce the initial shock reaction. Analysts say the USD is supported not only by its real strength but also by its status as a "safe haven" currency amid geopolitical tensions.

“The delay of tariffs on some of America’s major trading partners to August 1st is both a way to ‘kick the ball forward’ and reinforces the view that higher tariffs are really just bargaining leverage,” said Kyle Rodda, senior financial market analyst at Capital.com. “As a result, the market is hanging in the balance, waiting for a clearer catalyst to determine the next direction,” he added.

President Trump also said on Tuesday that trade talks with the European Union and China were going well, although he stressed that he was just days away from sending formal tariff letters to the EU.

Since Trump announced his retaliatory tariffs on April 2, dubbed “Trade Liberation Day,” the US has only struck two trade deals, one with the UK and one with Vietnam. In June, Washington and Beijing agreed on a common framework for tariff rates, marking a cautious step forward between the world’s two largest economies .

The US dollar hit its highest level since June 20, trading at 147.02 Japanese yen.

Meanwhile, the EUR was steady at $1.1720.

The British pound was flat around $1.3585.
