Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent touted a strong-dollar policy on Wednesday, offering the greenback support a day after comments by President Donald Trump had sent the US currency tumbling. “The US always has a strong dollar policy,” Bessent said in an interview on CNBC. “But a strong dollar policy means setting the right fundamentals,” he said. Asked whether the US might take such a step, he said that “we don’t comment other than to say we have a strong dollar policy.”His comments sparked a broad rebound in the dollar Wednesday but some of the gains faded by Thursday morning in Asia, with the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index falling 0.2%. Japan’s currency has been tumbling since October, sliding near its weakest level versus the greenback since 1986 earlier this month.
