The world economy
A problem shared
Economies across the rich world are flirting with recession. Good news for the dollar
FUND managers and bank executives have learnt that investors are often more forgiving if their peers are losing money as well. That lesson applies to economies and their currencies too. The world?Ts financial troubles may have been triggered by America?Ts housing bust, but it is other rich countries that are hurting most. Figures released on August 14th show that the euro-area economy shrank in the second quarter (see article). Japan?Ts GDP also fell in the spring quarter. The Bank of England?Ts governor, Mervyn King, said this week that Britain?Ts economy is likely to stagnate for the foreseeable future (see article).
The mess in America suddenly seems less awful. Indeed, a surge in export sales in June probably means that GDP growth for the most recent quarter will be revised up from 1.9% at an annualised rate, which is already respectable. The foreign-exchange markets have sensed a change in the weather. Over the past week, the dollar has swiftly gained ground against the euro and the pound. The thinking in the foreign exchanges is that it makes less sense to punish the dollar if other economies are doing so badly. The fear of a dollar rout, which has long stalked financial markets and even prompted the Federal Reserve chief, Ben Bernanke, to talk up the currency as recently as June, now seems to have evaporated.
One reason for thinking that fear will not return is the broad foundation for the dollar?Ts rally. Part of the story is the recent sharp fall in the oil price: because America?Ts economy has most to lose and least to gain from expensive oil. America is a big user of oil, compared with fuel-efficient Europe, so more dollars than euros flow into the oil-exporters?T coffers when oil becomes dear. The euro area also gets more of its currency back through export sales. It ships more than three times as much in exports to cash-rich oil producers as America does.
You cannot be sure that the oil-price fall will last. But markets may also sense that America is likely to recover more quickly than other struggling rich-world economies. The trigger for the dollar?Ts rise against the euro was a reluctant acknowledgment on August 7th by Jean-Claude Trichet, head of the European Central Bank (ECB), that the bank?Ts fear of a harder landing for the euro area was becoming reality. Few expect the ECB to cut interest rates soon. Inflation is far too high for comfort and is unlikely to drop much until 2009. But markets took Mr Trichet?Ts concession to mean that the next move in euro-zone interest rates is likely to be downward, with the first reduction possible next year.
By then, American interest rates may be heading in the opposite direction. This chance of a narrower interest-rate gap has also helped lift the dollar. Many criticised the Fed for keeping interest rates too low for too long after the dotcom bust earlier this decade. But such was the sluggishness of the euro-area economy back then that the ECB did not feel ready to raise interest rates until December 2005, long after the Fed started tightening. That downturn demonstrated how quickly America?Ts economy can bounce back, and how painfully slowly the euro zone tends to emerge from the doldrums.
If the oil price keeps falling and America?Ts housing bust bottoms out soon?"as it may (see article)?"how far would a dollar rally go? On some measures, such as purchasing-power parity, the greenback still looks cheap against the euro. American visitors to Europe complain about how expensive everything is; travellers in the other direction are delighted by how far their budget stretches. But the dollar is cheap for a reason. Economists at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, DC, reckon that the euro-dollar exchange rate required to keep America?Ts current-account deficit at a sustainable level is around $1.47?"not far below today?Ts value.
Yet even if the dollar rally turns out to be modest, the lesson of the past week is that America?Ts economy is not uniquely frail. Cre***ors, such as Germany and Japan, that played no direct part in the housing and cre*** booms have lived off the extra demand for their wares. They are now struggling to find other motors for their economies. And as the gloom spreads, one cloud has lifted. The dollar?Ts revival is likely to make Asian central banks and other large holders of reserve assets more comfortable about sticking with the greenback. The risk of a dollar rout, with the incalculable wreckage that would imply for all asset markets, is thankfully greatly reduced.

Nhất trí với bác Đăng mặt dài đẹp zai. Just4 chỉ ném đá bụi rậm với xì pam fo rùm thôi chứ đi cờ lắp thì tiết kiệm nhiên liệu lắm.
Chắc Club mình nên tổ chức mội conference nho nhỏ về speaking skill và mời Just4 làm Instructor, nhỉ.
