Europe is rearming independently, reducing US leverage, and China remains cautious, wary of Japan\u2019s historical experience with forced currency appreciation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Critics see it as more discord than accord, arguing it would face resistance internationally and lacks the cooperative spirit needed for successful currency interventions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If such a policy emerged, assets likely to benefit include gold, silver, and commodities (due to their inverse relationship with the dollar), as well as high-dividend, value-oriented equities seen as defensive plays in turbulent markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"speculative-policy\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent months, the concept of a so-called &#8220;Mar-a-Lago Accord&#8221;\u2014a hypothetical policy initiative aimed at depreciating the US dollar\u2014has gained traction among market commentators. In this blog, we explore what such a policy might entail, where it would likely face resistance, and which assets could benefit if it were implemented. To be clear, no policymakers have officially endorsed this as a strategic goal, and we remain sceptical about the feasibility of such a system. Nevertheless, we believe the thought experiment is worth exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The tricky task of predicting currency moves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the US election on 05 November 2024, and President Trump\u2019s inauguration on 20 January 2025, the US dollar Index appreciated by 5.7%. His pro-growth platform led many analysts to anticipate a slower pace of rate cuts relative to other economies, reinforcing a bullish dollar view. Additionally, his tariff-focused rhetoric was seen as dollar-positive, based on the logic that tariffs would reduce US import demand, lowering the need for foreign currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By January 2025, a strong dollar had become the consensus view<sup>1<\/sup>. Yet since then, the dollar has more than erased all post-election gains, and the outlook has turned neutral at best<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reversal may reflect broader concerns\u2014slowing global trade, an escalating trade war, and perceived policy instability in Washington. Ironically, tariffs once seen as supportive of the dollar are now being blamed for its weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is dollar depreciation a policy goal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid these shifts, some commentators speculate whether the Trump administration is pursuing dollar depreciation as a deliberate strategy\u2014aimed at boosting US export competitiveness and reducing the current account deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there has been no formal declaration, President Trump and his advisors have long criticised a strong dollar. He has previously accused foreign nations of currency manipulation<sup>3<\/sup> and suggested the US should respond by letting the dollar weaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"plaza-echo\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Mar-a-Lago Accord: coordinated strategy or narrative mirage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly 40 years after the 1985 Plaza Accord\u2014a historic agreement to weaken an overvalued dollar\u2014the idea of a modern equivalent has emerged. Dubbed the \u201cMar-a-Lago Accord,\u201d this concept imagines a coordinated effort to realign the US dollar through diplomatic, fiscal, and industrial policy measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While still speculative, the idea has gained intellectual traction in certain circles, driven by political momentum, global imbalances, and market dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lessons from the 1985 Plaza Accord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plaza Accord was a rare moment of international coordination, involving the US, Japan, Germany, France, and the UK. It succeeded in delivering a controlled depreciation of the dollar and temporarily rebalancing trade flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Figure 1: Real effective exchange rate for US<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"611\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/real-1100x611.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203960 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/real-1100x611.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/real-700x389.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/real-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/real-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/real-1536x854.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/real-2048x1138.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/611;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.eu\/-\/media\/eu-media-files\/blog\/content\/2025\/04---april\/real.png?sc_lang=fr-lu&amp;hash=84409AED40B0AF623A18A3597079147E\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bank for International Settlements via FRED\u00ae (Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis). January 1964 \u2013 February 2025. <strong>Historical performance is not an indication of future performance and any investments may go down in value.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, today\u2019s geopolitical landscape is very different, and replicating such coordination appears far more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Would a Mar-a-Lago Accord Involve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Dollar realignment via diplomatic leverage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US could use access to its markets and security guarantees as bargaining chips to persuade G7 allies, Middle Eastern partners, and Latin American countries to weaken their currencies in coordination. Countries unwilling to participate might face tariffs or trade restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Fiscal engineering to redirect capital flows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creation of a US sovereign wealth fund to actively intervene in currency markets. A shift from short-duration debt to long-dated Treasuries to reduce refinancing risk and downward pressure on the dollar. Some even speculate about refinancing interest-bearing debt into zero-coupon bonds\u2014a radical proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Reindustrialisation and supply chain realignment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incentives for domestic manufacturing and efforts to reduce reliance on global supply chains. Potential exclusion of close partners like Canada and Mexico from core sectors such as autos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"discord\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Discord, not accord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the Plaza Accord, which was a cooperative effort, the Mar-a-Lago concept appears more unilateral\u2014an exertion of US will rather than multilateral consensus. Some have called it the \u201cMar-a-Lago Discord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"global-resistance\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Europe: rearming regardless<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leverage implied in the proposal\u2014such as conditioning military support on currency cooperation\u2014may already be diminishing. European countries have taken US threats seriously and are now abandoning traditional budget rules to pursue military rearmament. If Europe is rearming anyway, the US has less leverage to secure their support for a dollar depreciation effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>China: a wary observer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comparisons to Japan\u2019s experience in the 1980s are common. Back then, Japan agreed to currency appreciation under US pressure, which many now believe led to speculative bubbles and the country\u2019s subsequent \u201clost decades\u201d. China views this as a cautionary tale and is unlikely to follow a similar path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While China is also contemplating a shift toward consumption-led growth, as Japan once did, it remains deeply wary of agreeing to any externally imposed currency appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"investment-implications\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Investment implications (if it happens)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reiterate, we think the likelihood of a formal \u201cMar-a-Lago Accord\u201d being implemented is low. But if the US does pursue a weak-dollar policy from a position of hegemony, we see several potential winners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gold:<\/strong> already a favoured asset among central banks like China\u2019s, gold could benefit as a store of value with no credit risk. Investors in currency-hedged gold may also benefit from pure translation effects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Silver:<\/strong> typically moves in tandem with gold and may be due for a performance catch-up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commodities:<\/strong> a weaker dollar usually boosts commodity prices. However, if trade restrictions accompany this policy, commodity prices could face short-term turbulence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Equities:<\/strong> we favour high-dividend, value-oriented stocks in a weaker dollar environment. Amidst a slowing economy coupled with a weaker US dollar, investors are likely to turn their attention to dividend stocks\u2014a classic defensive play that offers both the potential for capital appreciation and a steady income stream. The high dividend factor is synonymous with an investment strategy that gains exposure to companies that appear undervalued and have demonstrated stable and increasing dividends. Stalwart names in consumer staples, utilities, industrials and healthcare\u2014sectors renowned for their stability\u2014are posting impressive gains even as the mega cap tech stocks falter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why we think it\u2019s unlikely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe any attempt to engineer a dollar devaluation\u2014if it is indeed a policy goal\u2014would be met with scepticism or outright resistance from other nations. History shows that successful currency interventions require broad coordination and sustained commitment. That seems increasingly implausible in the current environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as with many aspects of the current US administration, we can\u2019t fully rule anything out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>1<\/sup>For example, on 15\/01\/2025 when the DXY was 109.1, Bloomberg\u2019s survey of economists indicated they only expected the dollar to ease to 107.1 by the end of the year.<br><sup>2<\/sup>01\/04\/2025 when the DXY was 104.1, Bloomberg\u2019s survey of economists showed a median of 104.0 by the end of the year.<br><sup>3<\/sup>For example, in 2019, Trump officially labelled China a currency manipulator. Moreover, the latest spate of tariffs announced on 02\/04\/2025, or \u201cLiberation Day\u201d apparently used a degree of currency manipulation to determine tariff levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;Mar-a-Lago Accord&#8221; is a speculative concept proposing a deliberate US strategy to weaken the dollar to boost exports and
