What Gets Stronger if the Dollar Weakens?
The prospects of a slower rise in interest rates and questions about whether or not the Trump economic agenda will ever come to pass have taken the dollar down. We are wondering what gets stronger if the dollar weakens. Bloomberg looks at assets that would benefit from a weaker dollar.
The U.S. currency appears to be entrenched in a new range amid prospects of delayed policy from Washington and a slower pace of interest-rate hikes.
Should the greenback face continued weakness, these assets could see a bid.
Precious Metals
When the dollar falls gold and other precious metals are seen as safe havens. Gold bugs, who never trust fiat currencies, will feel justified.
Crude Oil
Oil and other commodities are commonly priced in dollars. When the value of the dollar in relation to other currencies falls, the value of oil in dollars goes up. US shale oil producers will be happy.
U.S. Exporters
US companies that sell their products offshore have to worry constantly about price in the local currency. A weaker dollar helps folks like Apple, Caterpillar, Procter and Gamble as well as 3M.
Corporate Credit
Credit markets also benefit from a weak dollar that stimulates foreign investments. As the largest holder of U.S. Treasuries, Japan’s appetite could pick up should the yen strengthen against the dollar.
Emerging Markets
A stable greenback would help China’s central bank keep the yuan stable, protect the economy from looming capital outflows, and, as such, boost market sentiment toward emerging markets.

weak dollar throughout their
terms, while the greenback
recorded gains under Presidents
Reagan and Clinton.
36. A strong dollar indicates trust in
the American economy and a weak
one indicates weakness. No one
invests in weakness.
