The dollar held steady on Monday as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlined the Trump administration's economic strategy at the Milken Institute Global Conference, describing American markets as "anti-fragile" and well-positioned to weather any temporary volatility.
Bessent delivered a robust defense of Trump's economic agenda, characterizing tariffs, tax cuts and deregulation as "interlocking parts of an engine" designed to drive long-term investment in the US economy. He emphasized that the Republican tax bill would make many components of Trump's first-term cuts permanent, including deductions for small businesses.
