  • Dollar Drops on Greenland Crisis; Euro and Yen Rise on Safe-Haven Demand
    January 20, 2026, 1:30 PM EST. The U.S. dollar index fell to a two-week low, dropping 0.84%, amid escalating tensions sparked by President Trump's Greenland ambitions and rising U.S.-Europe trade conflicts. Fears of European investors offloading dollar assets are fueling the decline.

ECB rate hike prospects remain uncertain, and Japan faces political debates over potential tax cuts influencing currency moves.
