All rights reserved "Unless CPI picks up ( relative to PPI ) , I'd expect weaker US GDP figures going forward. Where does that leave the dollar?" you have correctly stated the problems producers now face - they can't pass on sharply rising input costs. however, as to the dollar, the main ingredient that is needed to stop and reverse the dollar's plunge is a reversal in the current account deficit to the unch. level - and this can, and will, be achieved by means of a severe recession. so as counterintuitive as it may seem, economic weakness is actually a sine qua non for a trend change in the dollar's external value.
