Currencies Performance (June 2026)

 

 

Currency markets have produced some striking winners and losers over the past year, with gains and declines approaching 20% against the U.S. dollar.

 

Highlighting sharp economic divides between regions, a new Deutsche Bank ranking tracks how 36 global currencies performed against the U.S. dollar over the year ending June 30, 2026. Colombia led the pack as the strongest performer, soaring 19.2%. Latin America captured both ends of the spectrum, with a massive 38.1 percentage-point performance gap separating Colombia from Argentina. On the flip side, Asian currencies suffered heavy losses due to escalating energy import expenses, filling six of the eight lowest spots. Malaysian ringgit, however, showed a positive 3.1% appreciation to the dollar.
