President-elect Donald Trump is encountering a significant challenge with the U.S. dollar. Despite his inclination towards a &#8220;weaker&#8221; currency to enhance U.S. exports and reduce the trade deficit, his proposed policies might inadvertently lead to a stronger dollar.
What Happened: According to&nbsp;Chatham House,&nbsp;David Lubin, a senior research fellow, <a href="https://www.chathamhouse.org/2024/11/donald-trumps-policies-risk-making-us-dollar-source-global-instability">noted</a> that while Trump prefers a weaker exchange rate, the market expects his policies to result in &#8220;strengthening the greenback.&#8221;
&#8220;President-elect Donald Trump has a dollar problem,&#8221; Lubin noted.
&#8220;The risk is that the U.S. dollar – which is expensive already – becomes more obviously overvalued, and this could increase the risk of global financial instability.&#8221;
The dollar&#8217;s value has seen fluctuations over the years, with a significant weakening from 2002 to 2011, followed by a strengthening. Factors such as the eurozone crisis and a slowing Chinese economy have shifted economic vitality back to the U.S., further boosting the dollar.
Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs and fiscal policies, including extending tax cuts, could also contribute to a stronger dollar. These measures may create inflationary pressures, leading to higher interest rates and a tighter monetary policy, which typically results in a stronger currency.

The implications of a stronger dollar include potential challenges for global trade and financial markets, especially for developing countries with weakening currencies.
Why It Matters: The potential strengthening of the dollar under Trump&#8217;s administration could have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42420201/trumps-return-threatens-billions-in-us-chip-investment-from-taiwan-samsung">far-reaching consequences</a>.&nbsp;Semiconductor giants&nbsp;like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.&nbsp;and Samsung Electronics&nbsp;have been investing billions in the U.S. following the Chips and Science Act. However, Trump&#8217;s return could prompt a reevaluation of these investments.
Moreover, U.S. Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Janet Yellen&nbsp;has warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42430772/janet-yellen-warns-trump-tariffs-could-undermine-confidence-in-financial-markets-and-raise-american-household-costs">Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs </a>could undermine financial market confidence and raise household costs, potentially destabilizing the economy. Yellen emphasized that while targeted tariffs can address unfair trade practices, broad measures might harm U.S. economic competitiveness.
Additionally,&nbsp;Paul Gambles&nbsp;from MBMG Family Office Group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42383874/expert-slams-trumps-tariff-policies-as-completely-and-utterly-wrong-but-says-we-dont-think-they-are-going-to-do-anything">criticized Trump&#8217;s tariff policies </a>as &#8220;completely and utterly wrong,&#8221; suggesting they could harm the U.S.&#8217;s competitive advantage. Despite these concerns, Gambles believes the tariffs may not be implemented to the extent Trump suggests.

'Trump Has A Dollar Problem:' President-Elect Favors 'Weaker' Currency But Potential Tariffs Might End Up 'Strengthening The Greenback' Instead

Ray Dalio, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42380616/ray-dalio-reveals-his-three-step-strategy-for-success">founder of Bridgewater Associates</a>, opined that he prefers to stay away from debt assets amid high debt concerns, preferring to allocate to gold and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: The billionaire investor expressed concerns about rising global debt levels, particularly in major economies like the U.S. and China. 
Speaking at Abu Dhabi Finance Week, as <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/banking-finance/article/3290169/bridgwaters-ray-dalio-invest-gold-and-bitcoin-rather-debt-assets">reported</a> by the South China Morning Post on Tuesday, Dalio highlighted the risks associated with unsustainable debt, which could erode the value of money.
He advocated investing in &#8220;hard money&#8221; assets such as gold and Bitcoin to hedge against the decline in fiat currencies.
Dalio outlined several key forces shaping the global economy: 
<ul>
<li>Debt and monetary dynamics, internal political tensions</li>
<li>Countries&#8217; internal political order</li>
<li>External geopolitical conflicts</li>
<li>Natural events like climate change and pandemics</li>
<li>Disruptive technologies</li>
</ul>
He also encouraged investing in innovative companies leveraging technology for operational improvements rather than relying solely on market dominance.

Why It Matters: Dalio advised adopting a long-term investment strategy focused on structural trends rather than reacting to daily news. 
He praised the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries for their stability, investment opportunities, and high quality of life, making them attractive for both investment and family living.
In October, Dalio urged Chinese leadership to pursue a &#8220;beautiful deleveraging&#8221; strategy to avoid a debt crisis, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41399024/billionaire-investor-ray-dalio-urges-xi-jinpings-china-to-implement-this-to-prevent-debt-crisis-they">recommending measures</a> such as debt restructuring, monetary stimulus and debt monetization to stabilize the economy
Dalio expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42257531/heres-how-ray-dalio-thinks-trumps-second-term-could-reshape-the-us-and-the-world">optimism about the incoming second Trump</a> administration&#8217;s plans to revamp government functions and domestic order, which could create a favorable economic environment.

Hepion Pharmaceuticals shares are trading lower. The company announced the termination of a merger agreement with Pharma Two B.

Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDSN#NASDAQ">NDSN</a>) will release earnings for its fourth quarter, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NDSN/earnings">closing bell on Wednesday, Dec. 11.</a>
Analysts expect the Westlake, Ohio-based company to report quarterly earnings at $2.59 per share — up from $2.46 per share in the year-ago period. Nordson projects to report quarterly revenue of $736.79 million, compared to $719.31 million a year earlier, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Nordso investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. The company currently offers an annual dividend yield of 1.23%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend amount of 78 cents per share ($3.12 a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $486,269 or around 1,923 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $97,355 or around 385 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($3.12 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.12 = 1,923 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $3.12 = 385 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
Price Action: Shares of Nordson fell 1% to close at $252.87 on Tuesday.
