Dollar Strengthens on Credibility and Policy Certainty

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attributed the strengthening of the US dollar to its credibility and policy certainty.

Bessent, speaking at a congressional hearing, stated that rising volumes of dollar transactions worldwide reflect global confidence in the US financial and economic system.

The current administration's policies have created stability across various areas, including regulation, taxation, trade, and energy, which has attracted trillions of dollars in investment to the US.

Bessent emphasized that a strong dollar is not just a market indicator but a series of behaviors driven by investor confidence and policy stability.
