**EUR/USD Outlook: Eroding Confidence in the US Dollar Amid Trump Administration Policies**

*PARIS (Forex News) – The recent rhetoric and policies of the Trump administration have raised concerns among forex traders regarding the stability of the US dollar. ECB policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau stressed these points during a recent interview, indicating significant implications for currency markets.*

Villeroy, who is also the head of the Bank of France, stated that protectionist measures and unpredictability coming out of the US are “bad elements” for the economy. This sentiment could affect trader perceptions of the dollar as a safe-haven currency. On Wednesday, President Trump announced a temporary reduction in tariffs imposed on several countries while simultaneously intensifying pressure on China, which led to a notable rally in global stock markets.

However, Villeroy pointed out that this approach could lead to a decline in confidence surrounding the US dollar. He noted, “The constant thread of US policy over the past decades has been the central role of the dollar. While the Trump administration shares this view, the inconsistency in its execution diminishes trust in the currency.”

Traders should take note of the potential benefits for the euro as a result of these developments. Villeroy remarked that the euro, created 25 years ago, grants Europe the autonomy to manage its monetary policy independently from the US, allowing for tailored interest rate decisions. This positioning of the euro could strengthen its role in international finance, particularly amid rising doubt about the dollar’s long-term stability.

In other news concerning regional economic forecasts, French Finance Minister Eric Lombard adjusted the growth outlook for France in 2025, reducing it to 0.7% from 0.9%. Villeroy maintained his stance that he does not anticipate a recession in France, providing some reassurance for Eurozone traders as they navigate market volatility.

As forex traders adapt to fast-changing geopolitical landscapes, monitoring these dynamics becomes essential. Current market sentiment appears to favor strategic positioning in the euro against the dollar, given the uncertainty surrounding US economic policy. It is prudent to keep a watchful eye on forthcoming economic indicators and geopolitical developments as they unfold.
