    WORRIES over global trade dragged the dollar to a six-month low on Monday, leaving investors bracing for more weakness ahead. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index extended declines for a fifth day, falling a total of 3.3% during that stretch.

    Australia’s trade-reliant assets extended their meltdown, with investors continuing to weigh President Donald Trump’s tariffs as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his government will keep engaging with the US. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index slumped as much as 6.5% on Monday, the most since March 2020, while the currency plunged. Australian bonds rallied as traders ratcheted bets the Reserve Bank will rapidly cut interest rates to support the economy.

    The Japanese yen and Swiss franc strengthened Monday as traders sought havens after US officials expressed their defiance over trade tariffs and indicated negotiations for any rate reductions will be prolonged. The Japanese currency climbed 1% to 145.41 per dollar and the Swiss franc climbed 0.7% as risk-off sentiment extended into a second week. The Australian dollar slumped 0.7%, leading declines among major developed market currencies.
