U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico starting on his first day in office. He also proposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports, causing significant fluctuations in the currencies of these countries. The U.S. dollar rose sharply against the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, and Chinese yuan, reflecting market concerns over Trump's trade policies. The Canadian dollar and peso fell more than 2%, while the yuan also weakened against the dollar. In other market news, U.S. Treasury yields fell following Trump's tariff announcement, despite a recent rally in stocks.
