US-EU Trade Deal Spurs USD Strength and Gold Rally

An unexpected trade agreement between the US and EU, announced at Turnberry on July 27, 2025, has boosted global market optimism and led to a surge in US dollar assets.

This agreement offers a framework for transatlantic commerce stability, impacting currency and commodity markets, and influencing potential Federal Reserve rate decisions.

US-EU $600 Billion Investment Alters Market Dynamics

A US-EU trade agreement, signed by President Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen, introduced lower tariffs, aimed at promoting predictability in transatlantic commerce. In consequence, the US dollar gained strength as investors rotated assets. This shift resulted in meaningful declines for both the euro and yen, demonstrating a clear preference for USD amid the adjusted trade terms.

The trade deal has spurred immediate financial flow adjustments. The agreement includes the EU committing to a USD 600 billion investment in the US and significant purchases of US energy exports. Additionally, US tariffs on EU goods were confronted with a provisional framework to maintain stability.
