Our call for economic recoupling — involving spillovers from the incipient US recession to Japan and Europe and back again to the US — continues to play out slowly and unevenly (see “The Year of Recoupling”, Global Economic Forum, February 11, 2008). If global growth recouples to the US slowdown, will it be benign or malign? Investors hope that such a slowdown will provide relief in the form of a stronger dollar, lower overseas interest rates, and outperformance of US risky assets. Add to that the possibility that the combination of slower growth and a stronger dollar cools the boom in commodity prices, and the slowdown could prove benign.
