    Is A Coordinated Dollar Devaluation Secretly In The Works?

    "The bottom line, at least to Std Chartered's FX team is the intellectual consensus at Jackson Hole that lower US rates and a weaker USD were desirable. Not all proposal solutions look practical to, but the takeaway is that there is a growing consensus that a weaker US dollar would be a good idea, and policy makers are beginning to look for a way to implement it. In other words, instead of a sharp drop in the yuan, don't be surprised to wake up one morning and see your favorite dollar index devalued by about 10% against all of its currency pairs."

    I've said before, attempts by government led teams to intervene in the FX markets have worked only for a couple of weeks at best. After that the FX markets overwhelm the efforts.

    The way to manipulate a currency up or down is to do something crazy with money and monetary policy.

    Is it secretly in the works? That's speculation.

    Anyway, one doesn't secretly lead a team to manipulate a currency. One goes a loud and proud to get the jawboning effect, too.
