The weakness of the dollar reflects concerns about the uncertain economic Trump policy, as well as fears that his protectionist stance can reduce corporate earnings and become a brake on economic growth.
On Monday, Trump has initiated a formal process of US withdrawal from participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). It separates the United States from its Asian allies.
Trump also announced his intention to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico to the conditions more favorable for the United States.
