Goldman Sachs forecasts a “stronger, longer-lasting” dollar in 2025. Broader tariffs and fiscal policy adjustments in the U.S. could further enhance the dollar’s competitiveness, while pressuring other challenger currencies. Additionally, the U.S.’s resilient economy and tilted capital flows provide robust support for the greenback.

However, even if Elon Musk succeeds in his ventures, it won’t solve the U.S. deficit problem.
