Dollar's Surge Triggers Market Interventions as Asian Currencies Tumble The U.S. dollar’s resurgence significantly impacted emerging-market currencies, particularly after China’s decision to lower its yuan reference rate.

The ripple effect of the dollar’s strength was felt globally, driving a key index of emerging-market currencies to annual lows and causing corresponding declines in stock markets.
