Dollar buying to heat up if recession fears hit the markets

It’s official. The global economy is bucking substantial headwinds. Four basic factors will determine whether stocks will fall and the dollar will rise in the coming months. As central bankers around the world attempt to manage inflationary forces, watch these factors for signs of change: 

1. PMI numbers: The purchasing manager index (PMI) is an indicator of economic growth dynamics. The upcoming release of August PMI numbers is crucial in assessing the state of the business cycle and its impact on various markets, such as stocks, currencies, commodities and interest rates.
2. Eurozone recession risk: The Eurozone is at risk of entering a recession, with consecutive months of contraction in the composite index. Germany, the largest economy on the continent, has already experienced a decline in GDP. Expectations for the August PMI numbers suggest further contraction or slower growth in the Eurozone.
3. U.S. resilience: The U.S. economy has shown resilience, with economic data consistently outperforming expectations. However, concerns remain regarding inflation expectations and the Federal Reserve's ability to combat it. The PMI numbers for the U.S. are expected to show steady growth but at a slightly slower rate.
4. Impact on central banks: tastylive’s head of Global Macro, Ilya Spivak, suggests central banks may face challenges in managing inflation expectations while also stimulating economic growth. The possibility of stronger PMI numbers could reinforce the idea that central banks are not ready to loosen monetary policy, which could lead to a global recession. This scenario could have implications for various assets, with defensive assets potentially benefiting while cyclical and growth-sensitive assets may face downward pressure.
