The euro dipped to a three-week low on Monday as President Donald Trump unveiled plans to impose a 30% tariff on imports from two major trading partners. Conversely, the dollar made marginal gains amid this tariff upheaval.

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, soared to a new high, trading at over $122,000, as investors anticipate significant industry policy changes. Despite the imposing tariffs, financial markets remained relatively unaffected, showing resilience against Trump's once potent threats.
