The “dollar smile”
The dollar tends to rise when the US economy is strong or weak.
When the US economy is strong, capital flows to dollar assets for obvious reasons. But when the US is wobbling, the whole world is likely in trouble, and dollar assets become safe havens.
Only co-ordinated global growth reliably weakens the dollar — the middle of the smile.
