The United States dollar is suffering its worst start to a year in more than five decades, likely triggering a price hike for some everyday items and a jump in expenses faced by travelers abroad, some analysts told ABC News.

The US dollar suffered its worst first-half decline in more than 50 years as fears over President Donald Trump’s tariff policies have driven down the world’s principal reserve currency.

It has continued to slide even as President Trump has backed down from his tariff threats and the U.S. stock market has recovered from its losses.
