Lombard Odier expects global growth to take a substantial hit in H1 2020 with a rebound in H2. It sees lower and converging US rates putting the dollar under pressure against major currencies.
It also expects the dollar to be supported against emerging market currencies given low energy prices.
Dollar weakness against major currencies supports dollar-priced commodities, while strength against emerging currencies raises costs for importers in those markets. Low energy prices limit the upside for energy-linked demand.
