The Mar-a-Lago Accord: A Potential Path to US Prosperity
A revived Plaza Accord-style plan, along with President Trump’s broader policies, aims to strategically weaken the dollar and boost domestic manufacturing
Inflation and volatility may rise in the short run, but the goal is a stronger, more sustainable US economy and geopolitical security
Investors must take a macro approach to weather near-term pain while positioning for long-term growth
In 1985, the world’s leading economies signed the Plaza Accord, a coordinated effort to effectively weaken the US dollar. The goal was simple: mitigate risks from trade imbalances and help revive struggling economies. The landmark agreement inked at New York City’s Plaza Hotel by the G5 nations—France, West Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the US—led to a steep devaluation of the greenback against major currencies such as the Japanese yen and Deutsche Mark.
Now, you might be curious why weakening a currency would be a good thing. While it sounds like a potential problem, there’s nuance. A currency is only valuable relative to other currencies. A strong dollar compared to, say, the euro means it’s more expensive for European governments, businesses, and consumers to buy our products, which results in less demand for US finished goods. Countries sometimes work to weaken their currency on purpose because it makes their exports cheaper and more attractive to foreign buyers. That added demand boosts domestic manufacturing. For the US, a weaker dollar helped bring about healthy job creation in the years after the Plaza Accord was agreed to. Of course, there are many macro variables at play, but currency management was at the heart of the 1985 protocol.
It also included structural fiscal policy reforms, including Japan pledging to liberalize its economy, German lawmakers enacting tax cuts, and changes to the UK’s government spending. All the while, the US vowed to be more disciplined with its tax dollars. Global central banks coordinated in foreign exchange markets to keep key currency pairs in a desired broad range.
The Plaza Accord’s solution was simple but effective; the wide scale intervention weakened the US dollar, and domestic exports boomed, helping to fuel a brief manufacturing resurgence at home. Monetary policy authorities sold dollars and bought foreign currencies, with fiscal lawmakers committing to adjust policy to support banking activities. The dollar depreciated by nearly 50% in the following two years, from above 165 to under 85 on the US Dollar Index (DXY). For context, the DXY ranges between 100 and 110 today.

Inking the Plaza Accord was no small task, and it was rife with controversy, even among its signatories. Japan, in particular, encountered turmoil. The yen rapidly appreciated, leading to a growth slowdown; the Bank of Japan was forced to slash its policy rate. Students of market history know what happened next to (at the time) the world’s second-largest economy—cheaper borrowing costs drove a stock market boom by 1989, but a decades-long bust ensued. While the macro ripple effects were many, the Plaza Accord was generally seen as benefiting the US’s trade situation.
The macro landscape hit an inflection point then, and it may be happening again today. Investors should consider whether their portfolios can withstand near-term risks and take advantage of new long-term opportunities.

Enter the Mar-a-Lago Accord
Fast forward 40 years, and there’s loud chatter about a new initiative targeting US manufacturing and our country’s position on the global economic pecking order. The Mar-a-Lago Accord, a term coined by economist Zoltan Poszar in 2024, is an unofficial policy with an ambitious goal: to rebalance global trade once again, flip on the spigots of American manufacturing, and weaken the dollar.
Broadly, the proposed plan aims to reorient the US’s relationship with the global economy, which could include careful and strategic dollar weakening and restructuring federal debt, all while encouraging other countries to cooperate through modern, pro-US trade and security agreements. This means taking 20th-century policies that centered on globalization and sending our wealth abroad, and making them work for Americans. A fairly valued greenback and debt refinanced at lower interest rates would serve a dual benefit of boosting our exports and bringing down interest costs.
Inspired by an essay from President Trump’s economic advisor, Stephen Miran, the Mar-a-Lago Accord parallels the 1985 agreement. It dominated Wall Street and Capitol Hill conversation early in Trump 2.0. As stock market volatility ramped up and some of the Mar-a-Lago Accord’s concepts were seen in trade policy, the idea quickly became a potential reality.
The strategy is risky, though. Economic pain, including a possible recession, could occur before the Accord's benefits are felt. Long term, the goal is to support US GDP growth and a more sustainable fiscal situation. As it stands, our country faces record-high trade deficits, a persistently strong greenback, and dwindling manufacturing prowess.

Along with addressing out-of-control annual budget imbalances and soaring national debt, the mission of the policy lattice is to reduce interest rates and refinance our borrowings. Treasury Secretary Bessent even suggested that the Trump administration is more concerned about bringing down the 10-year Treasury rate than seeing the S&P 500 rise—a sharp turn from Trump 1.0.

Allio believes 2025 could be a tough year for the economy, as we are still reeling from the Bidenonmics’ hangover, but zoom out to Year 2 and beyond, and we see strong and durable economic dominance on the horizon. A fairer global trade system, a reasonably valued US dollar reserve currency, stable interest rates, and a pro-growth policy lay the foundation for the private sector to drive innovation as the federal government takes a backseat.
President Trump and the US hold all the cards. Former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers likes to say, “Europe is a museum, Japan is a nursing home, and China is a jail.” The idea and policy construct floated today via the Mar-a-Lago Accord comes at a time when no other economy can rival what the US possesses despite mounting challenges. The Eurozone is fragmented, Japan’s innovation is a shadow of its former self, and China is limited by its own capital controls. With the dollar dominating, the stage is set for a modern-day Plaza Accord.
The Mar-a-Lago Accord: A Blueprint for Change
As the global reserve currency, the dollar’s strength is a blessing and a burden. Too strong, and it undermines American competitiveness abroad, inflates trade deficits, and stymies domestic manufacturing. Too weak, and reserve-currency status is called into question. The Mar-a-Lago Accord seeks to balance risks to promote US dominance. While today’s context differs from four decades ago when the Plaza Accord was written, the challenges rhyme.
Named after Trump’s Florida estate and resort where the proposal was reportedly drafted, the Mar-a-Lago Accord is a two-pronged strategy to strategically weaken the dollar and deflate the ballooning trade deficit:
Global Coordination
Key trading partners—the Eurozone, Japan, and China—would work to gradually weaken the dollar, an echo of the 1985 Plaza Accord. Nations and blocs would sell dollars and Treasuries from their reserves. Tariffs would also be wielded to encourage or even coerce participation. (Import duties raise tax revenue for the US government and protect domestic manufacturers.) Of course, it’s unknown how much buy-in Trump would get from adversaries like China. Supplying the market with Treasuries is risky—interest rates could increase.
Unilateral Actions
If a multilateral approach falters, the US could impose fees on foreign Treasury holdings to deter countries from accumulating dollars. Security threats, tariffs, and the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF), an emergency reserve fund of the US Treasury Department, could be called on to sell gold reserves to weaken the dollar.
Mar-a-Lago Accord: Already Underway?
The wheels may already be in motion with this hypothetical policy. The president announced shock and awe tariffs from the White House Rose Garden on Liberation Day (April 2, 2025), which sent the dollar spiraling lower to close at a multi-month low. Through early April, the DXY was off to its worst start to a year since 1995.

Bigger picture, the Accord’s sequencing is crucial. This is where Trump’s 3-D chess macro strategy becomes vital. The tariff rates that sent shockwaves across global markets in April are essential leverage tools to secure cooperation. The Federal Reserve must also be broadly on board—they are independent of the executive branch, to be clear, but effective monetary policy is always required to ensure a favorable interest rate environment.
Tariffs have the near-term risk of upside inflation, but once consumer price pressures ease, lower interest rates could allow the debt to be refinanced at attractive rates. Swapping intermediate debt for so-called “century bonds” could bring long-term benefits, albeit with ephemeral risks. Upside may result from the establishment of a sovereign wealth fund.
Much depends on what other economic players do, as well. We’ve already seen Germany and other Eurozone members hint at economic stimulus efforts, particularly in defense. Those actions worked to boost the EURUSD pair and increase interest rates overseas. That’s critical since interest rate differentials directly lead to interest rate changes—an appreciating euro may lead to ongoing dollar selling and potentially softer US interest rates.
Ray Dalio and the Cycles of Change
The Mar-a-Lago Accord addresses a fundamental risk facing the US today—the reality that we may be in the late stages of the long-term debt cycle. Borrowing costs have risen, inflation pressures persist, and geopolitical tensions have turned very heated just since Trump began his second term. We see the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) tackling efforts to relieve the burdens brought on by a nearly $40 trillion national debt and its associated costs—yet another reason for fiscal and monetary authorities to consider carefully weakening the dollar.
Dalio is famous for his “embrace reality and deal with it” mindset regarding macro measures. Radical transparency demands that governments confront uncomfortable truths. The Accord acknowledges the reality of the massive US trade deficit and overly strong dollar—issues that have worsened over the decades. Though short-run impacts—terming out debt via century bonds and the inherent risk of rating downgrades—could be painful, the upside is a more balanced trade environment.

For investors, heeding Dalio’s warnings is wise, particularly in the short run, given today’s macro landscape. Higher stock and bond market volatility may warrant smaller position sizes and pairing back speculative wagers. We may see higher sovereign risk premia built into stocks (lower P/E ratios), with possible outperformance from non-US assets before the US growth renaissance begins. Gold and bitcoin could be viable options, too, along with real estate and potentially energy-related assets.
The Bridgewater founder urges investors to think in probabilities, not certainties—making drastic long-term portfolio changes may be unwise. Stocks have historically moved ahead of economic changes. So, if the domestic economy is in a fundamentally better position in 12 to 18 months, being ready for US equity alpha is imperative.
Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Gain
Wholesale changes to the global economic backdrop obviously come with significant risks. The good news is that they are primarily temporary:
Treasury Market Upheaval
Recall August of 2011—it was a period similar to today. Volatility was high, the S&P 500 endured a steep drawdown, and global growth worries were front and center. That’s also when S&P downgraded the US debt. We could see comparable actions if federal borrowings are refinanced or if the government cannot make good on Treasury bill interest obligations. It’s unknown how the sovereign bonds would respond—in 2011, there was heavy Treasury buying in a flight to safety trade.
Inflation’s Comeback
The Mar-a-Lago Accord may result in transitory inflation if the dollar were materially weakened—a softer greenback makes imports costlier. The Fed would have no choice but to keep restrictive monetary policy in place. Moreover, a tit-for-tat trade war and rising global effective tariff rates could drive higher consumer prices.
Higher Recession Odds
Uncertainty, tariffs, and fiscal frictions may keep households and C-suite executives on hold until the long-term benefits are realized. Hence, the chance of a US recession is significant. That would mirror the early stages of the post-Plaza era.
The Dalio Doctrine: Pain + Reflection = Progress
For the first time in decades, Wall Street, Washington, and global investors are openly debating the global economic structure and monetary system. It is an uncomfortable conversation, indeed, but the current path is unsustainable.
Now is the time—when the US has the leverage—to reform fiscal policy. The process, while messy, is essential, and we assert that it paves the way for a more resilient domestic economy—one ready for the AI age.
The Bull Case: A US Renaissance
We’ve harped on the risks, but it’s important to call out the upside, particularly as the media drives a narrative of fear, and bearishness permeates investors’ collective psyche. Looking out 12 to 18 months, there’s a case to be made for optimism.
Export Revival: A weaker dollar boosts the “X” in the GDP = Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Spending (G) + Net Exports (X) calculation. US goods and services will become more competitive.
Wage Gains and Reshoring: As production shifts back home, wages could rise alongside key automation advancements. That combination would benefit the middle class the most.
Flows Matter: It will be tricky to thread the Treasury needle. Lower interest rates can come about through disciplined fiscal spending and reduced multi-cycle inflation. Over time, capital may flow into higher-risk assets as confidence builds, offering tailwinds to long-term investors.
Enduring Leverage: A weaker dollar could threaten its reserve-currency status, but the more likely scenario is that a stable US economy would instill our dominance on the global stage. Fairer trade practices shift cost burdens to other countries, benefitting American taxpayers.
What About the Rest of the World?
Allio differs from the pundits on how the Mar-a-Lago Accord impacts international economies. While it’s true that the euro and yen may appreciate in the quarters ahead, we see it unlikely that those foreign exchange markets will ultimately supplant King Dollar. Stimulus measures across the Eurozone and more pro-business policies in Japan are surely beneficial for those economies, but the deck is still stacked in the US’s favor—demographics, geographical advantages, and the reality that the US is (as we like to say) the cradle of capitalism.
Amid it all, investors should own dynamic macro portfolios to weather global economic shifts. As volatility persists, strategic asset allocation, active risk management, and tactical market positioning are required. International equities—particularly emerging market stocks—could benefit in a weaker-dollar environment before the US growth boom fires up.
The Bottom Line
The Mar-a-Lago Accord might never be signed, but its overarching macro strategy could be taking shape. As the media and short-sighted macro-onlookers focus on tariffs’ adverse effects, a bold strategy is necessary for the US to author the next chapter in its global dominance story. While not an official policy, realizing that the dollar is too strong, the trade deficit is too large, and the current monetary regime is unsustainable are positive developments—higher volatility and lower near-term stock prices notwithstanding.
For investors thinking in cycles—as Ray Dalio urges us to—there's the chance to apply principles to craft and hold better portfolios that can endure short-run volatility while taking advantage of the next leg of US prosperity.

Enter the Mar-a-Lago Accord
Fast forward 40 years, and there’s loud chatter about a new initiative targeting US manufacturing and our country’s position on the global economic pecking order. The Mar-a-Lago Accord, a term coined by economist Zoltan Poszar in 2024, is an unofficial policy with an ambitious goal: to rebalance global trade once again, flip on the spigots of American manufacturing, and weaken the dollar.
Broadly, the proposed plan aims to reorient the US’s relationship with the global economy, which could include careful and strategic dollar weakening and restructuring federal debt, all while encouraging other countries to cooperate through modern, pro-US trade and security agreements. This means taking 20th-century policies that centered on globalization and sending our wealth abroad, and making them work for Americans. A fairly valued greenback and debt refinanced at lower interest rates would serve a dual benefit of boosting our exports and bringing down interest costs.
Inspired by an essay from President Trump’s economic advisor, Stephen Miran, the Mar-a-Lago Accord parallels the 1985 agreement. It dominated Wall Street and Capitol Hill conversation early in Trump 2.0. As stock market volatility ramped up and some of the Mar-a-Lago Accord’s concepts were seen in trade policy, the idea quickly became a potential reality.
The strategy is risky, though. Economic pain, including a possible recession, could occur before the Accord's benefits are felt. Long term, the goal is to support US GDP growth and a more sustainable fiscal situation. As it stands, our country faces record-high trade deficits, a persistently strong greenback, and dwindling manufacturing prowess.

Along with addressing out-of-control annual budget imbalances and soaring national debt, the mission of the policy lattice is to reduce interest rates and refinance our borrowings. Treasury Secretary Bessent even suggested that the Trump administration is more concerned about bringing down the 10-year Treasury rate than seeing the S&P 500 rise—a sharp turn from Trump 1.0.

Allio believes 2025 could be a tough year for the economy, as we are still reeling from the Bidenonmics’ hangover, but zoom out to Year 2 and beyond, and we see strong and durable economic dominance on the horizon. A fairer global trade system, a reasonably valued US dollar reserve currency, stable interest rates, and a pro-growth policy lay the foundation for the private sector to drive innovation as the federal government takes a backseat.
President Trump and the US hold all the cards. Former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers likes to say, “Europe is a museum, Japan is a nursing home, and China is a jail.” The idea and policy construct floated today via the Mar-a-Lago Accord comes at a time when no other economy can rival what the US possesses despite mounting challenges. The Eurozone is fragmented, Japan’s innovation is a shadow of its former self, and China is limited by its own capital controls. With the dollar dominating, the stage is set for a modern-day Plaza Accord.
The Mar-a-Lago Accord: A Blueprint for Change
As the global reserve currency, the dollar’s strength is a blessing and a burden. Too strong, and it undermines American competitiveness abroad, inflates trade deficits, and stymies domestic manufacturing. Too weak, and reserve-currency status is called into question. The Mar-a-Lago Accord seeks to balance risks to promote US dominance. While today’s context differs from four decades ago when the Plaza Accord was written, the challenges rhyme.
Named after Trump’s Florida estate and resort where the proposal was reportedly drafted, the Mar-a-Lago Accord is a two-pronged strategy to strategically weaken the dollar and deflate the ballooning trade deficit:
Global Coordination
Key trading partners—the Eurozone, Japan, and China—would work to gradually weaken the dollar, an echo of the 1985 Plaza Accord. Nations and blocs would sell dollars and Treasuries from their reserves. Tariffs would also be wielded to encourage or even coerce participation. (Import duties raise tax revenue for the US government and protect domestic manufacturers.) Of course, it’s unknown how much buy-in Trump would get from adversaries like China. Supplying the market with Treasuries is risky—interest rates could increase.
Unilateral Actions
If a multilateral approach falters, the US could impose fees on foreign Treasury holdings to deter countries from accumulating dollars. Security threats, tariffs, and the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF), an emergency reserve fund of the US Treasury Department, could be called on to sell gold reserves to weaken the dollar.
Mar-a-Lago Accord: Already Underway?
The wheels may already be in motion with this hypothetical policy. The president announced shock and awe tariffs from the White House Rose Garden on Liberation Day (April 2, 2025), which sent the dollar spiraling lower to close at a multi-month low. Through early April, the DXY was off to its worst start to a year since 1995.

Bigger picture, the Accord’s sequencing is crucial. This is where Trump’s 3-D chess macro strategy becomes vital. The tariff rates that sent shockwaves across global markets in April are essential leverage tools to secure cooperation. The Federal Reserve must also be broadly on board—they are independent of the executive branch, to be clear, but effective monetary policy is always required to ensure a favorable interest rate environment.
Tariffs have the near-term risk of upside inflation, but once consumer price pressures ease, lower interest rates could allow the debt to be refinanced at attractive rates. Swapping intermediate debt for so-called “century bonds” could bring long-term benefits, albeit with ephemeral risks. Upside may result from the establishment of a sovereign wealth fund.
Much depends on what other economic players do, as well. We’ve already seen Germany and other Eurozone members hint at economic stimulus efforts, particularly in defense. Those actions worked to boost the EURUSD pair and increase interest rates overseas. That’s critical since interest rate differentials directly lead to interest rate changes—an appreciating euro may lead to ongoing dollar selling and potentially softer US interest rates.
Ray Dalio and the Cycles of Change
The Mar-a-Lago Accord addresses a fundamental risk facing the US today—the reality that we may be in the late stages of the long-term debt cycle. Borrowing costs have risen, inflation pressures persist, and geopolitical tensions have turned very heated just since Trump began his second term. We see the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) tackling efforts to relieve the burdens brought on by a nearly $40 trillion national debt and its associated costs—yet another reason for fiscal and monetary authorities to consider carefully weakening the dollar.
Dalio is famous for his “embrace reality and deal with it” mindset regarding macro measures. Radical transparency demands that governments confront uncomfortable truths. The Accord acknowledges the reality of the massive US trade deficit and overly strong dollar—issues that have worsened over the decades. Though short-run impacts—terming out debt via century bonds and the inherent risk of rating downgrades—could be painful, the upside is a more balanced trade environment.

For investors, heeding Dalio’s warnings is wise, particularly in the short run, given today’s macro landscape. Higher stock and bond market volatility may warrant smaller position sizes and pairing back speculative wagers. We may see higher sovereign risk premia built into stocks (lower P/E ratios), with possible outperformance from non-US assets before the US growth renaissance begins. Gold and bitcoin could be viable options, too, along with real estate and potentially energy-related assets.
The Bridgewater founder urges investors to think in probabilities, not certainties—making drastic long-term portfolio changes may be unwise. Stocks have historically moved ahead of economic changes. So, if the domestic economy is in a fundamentally better position in 12 to 18 months, being ready for US equity alpha is imperative.
Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Gain
Wholesale changes to the global economic backdrop obviously come with significant risks. The good news is that they are primarily temporary:
Treasury Market Upheaval
Recall August of 2011—it was a period similar to today. Volatility was high, the S&P 500 endured a steep drawdown, and global growth worries were front and center. That’s also when S&P downgraded the US debt. We could see comparable actions if federal borrowings are refinanced or if the government cannot make good on Treasury bill interest obligations. It’s unknown how the sovereign bonds would respond—in 2011, there was heavy Treasury buying in a flight to safety trade.
Inflation’s Comeback
The Mar-a-Lago Accord may result in transitory inflation if the dollar were materially weakened—a softer greenback makes imports costlier. The Fed would have no choice but to keep restrictive monetary policy in place. Moreover, a tit-for-tat trade war and rising global effective tariff rates could drive higher consumer prices.
Higher Recession Odds
Uncertainty, tariffs, and fiscal frictions may keep households and C-suite executives on hold until the long-term benefits are realized. Hence, the chance of a US recession is significant. That would mirror the early stages of the post-Plaza era.
The Dalio Doctrine: Pain + Reflection = Progress
For the first time in decades, Wall Street, Washington, and global investors are openly debating the global economic structure and monetary system. It is an uncomfortable conversation, indeed, but the current path is unsustainable.
Now is the time—when the US has the leverage—to reform fiscal policy. The process, while messy, is essential, and we assert that it paves the way for a more resilient domestic economy—one ready for the AI age.
The Bull Case: A US Renaissance
We’ve harped on the risks, but it’s important to call out the upside, particularly as the media drives a narrative of fear, and bearishness permeates investors’ collective psyche. Looking out 12 to 18 months, there’s a case to be made for optimism.
Export Revival: A weaker dollar boosts the “X” in the GDP = Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Spending (G) + Net Exports (X) calculation. US goods and services will become more competitive.
Wage Gains and Reshoring: As production shifts back home, wages could rise alongside key automation advancements. That combination would benefit the middle class the most.
Flows Matter: It will be tricky to thread the Treasury needle. Lower interest rates can come about through disciplined fiscal spending and reduced multi-cycle inflation. Over time, capital may flow into higher-risk assets as confidence builds, offering tailwinds to long-term investors.
Enduring Leverage: A weaker dollar could threaten its reserve-currency status, but the more likely scenario is that a stable US economy would instill our dominance on the global stage. Fairer trade practices shift cost burdens to other countries, benefitting American taxpayers.
What About the Rest of the World?
Allio differs from the pundits on how the Mar-a-Lago Accord impacts international economies. While it’s true that the euro and yen may appreciate in the quarters ahead, we see it unlikely that those foreign exchange markets will ultimately supplant King Dollar. Stimulus measures across the Eurozone and more pro-business policies in Japan are surely beneficial for those economies, but the deck is still stacked in the US’s favor—demographics, geographical advantages, and the reality that the US is (as we like to say) the cradle of capitalism.
Amid it all, investors should own dynamic macro portfolios to weather global economic shifts. As volatility persists, strategic asset allocation, active risk management, and tactical market positioning are required. International equities—particularly emerging market stocks—could benefit in a weaker-dollar environment before the US growth boom fires up.
The Bottom Line
The Mar-a-Lago Accord might never be signed, but its overarching macro strategy could be taking shape. As the media and short-sighted macro-onlookers focus on tariffs’ adverse effects, a bold strategy is necessary for the US to author the next chapter in its global dominance story. While not an official policy, realizing that the dollar is too strong, the trade deficit is too large, and the current monetary regime is unsustainable are positive developments—higher volatility and lower near-term stock prices notwithstanding.
For investors thinking in cycles—as Ray Dalio urges us to—there's the chance to apply principles to craft and hold better portfolios that can endure short-run volatility while taking advantage of the next leg of US prosperity.
