Did the dollar depreciate when Trump won the election? I expected the the dollar to briefly depreciate against all currencies when Trump won the election (in 2016), but I have just learned that it briefly appreciated against some. It depreciated against the Euro and Pound, but appreciated against the South African Rand and Australian Dollar. Why did the Rand and AUD depreciate against the dollar?
