Summary

Fernando Ulrich analyzes the Trump administration's deliberate policy to weaken the US dollar through communication, tacit agreements and interventions, including the de facto Mar-a-Lago accord. He argues this weak-dollar regime already pressures the dollar index and benefits emerging markets, especially Brazil, supporting the real below 5.00, Brazilian equities and EWZ. He also discusses tariff effects on the US trade deficit and highlights recent US-Japan currency coordination as historically important.

  • Trump's comments are treated as evidence of a deliberate weak-dollar strategy.
  • The Mar-a-Lago accord is seen as happening de facto through communication and interventions.
  • Tariffs are helping reduce the US trade deficit, but the currency leg is increasingly active.
  • Dollar index has fallen more than 10% and tested 96; sub-90 is watched.
  • A weaker dollar is expected to benefit emerging markets broadly.
  • Brazilian real may strengthen below 5.00, with fair value near 4.75.
  • Brazilian equities and EWZ are supported by favorable external and domestic conditions.
  • US-Japan yen coordination is highlighted as symbolic and historic.

Trump policy weakens dollar further
Trump's remarks are evidence of a deliberate macroeconomic reset to weaken the US dollar, pursued through communication, tacit agreements and joint interventions rather than a formal accord. Tariffs are helping shrink the US trade deficit, but the currency leg is increasingly official; the dollar index has already fallen over 10% and tested 96, with sub-90 levels seen as interesting if the weak-dollar policy persists.

Yen strengthens on US-Japan coordination
The yen is undervalued and has become a focus of US-Japan currency coordination/interventions designed to weaken the dollar and strengthen other currencies; Ulrich calls the recent yen move very important, symbolic and historic, supporting a stronger yen as the weak-dollar policy continues.

Brazilian real strengthens below five
The Brazilian real should continue to strengthen because the external backdrop is dominated by a deliberate US weak-dollar policy and domestic factors are not disrupting the move. Ulrich says USD/BRL is heading to 5 and could go below it; his fair value for the real is around 4.75, and Verde's Stuhlberger has mentioned 4.40, with potential government change after this year's election adding support.

Brazilian equities continue record rally
With a weak dollar, favorable external backdrop and a domestic scenario that is not hindering, Brazilian equities should continue their rally. Ibovespa is already at a nominal record in reais, offers an attractive risk-return with discounted stocks, and the recent rally should not surprise; EWZ is also near the 40 level.

Weak dollar benefits emerging markets
A weak-dollar environment is broadly positive for the world and especially for emerging markets, with Brazil among the beneficiaries. If Trump remains in power and persists with the devaluation policy, the outlook for emerging markets is very auspicious.
