        <Name>US Economy: First In, First Out?</Name>
        <Summary>Will economic recovery help the US dollar in currency trading?</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Right now, the &lt;b&gt;US dollar&lt;/b&gt; is fairly strong in currency trading on the FX market. The &lt;a href="item/227553" target="_blank" title="dollar forex trading, forex trading, currency trading, FX market, US dollar currency trading, US economy, recession, G7, first in first out, economic recovery"&gt;euro is enjoying a bit of a rally&lt;/a&gt;, but the slightest hint that the economy is in trouble, and the flight to safety -- to the greenback -- will resume. So this begs the question: If the US is, indeed, the first out of the &lt;b&gt;recession&lt;/b&gt;, what will it do to the dollar in forex trading?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt;First In, First Out&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;There has been a great deal of speculation that the &lt;b&gt;US economy &lt;/b&gt;will follow the First In, First Out rule: As the first G7 economy to enter a recession (back in 2007), it is likely to be the first economy to exit a recession and make a recovery. Besides,&lt;a href="http://www.fx360.com/commentary/kathy/754/us-dollar-headed-higher.aspx?aid=5704" target="_blank" title="dollar forex trading, forex trading, currency trading, FX market, US dollar currency trading, US economy, recession, G7, first in first out, economic recovery, Kathy Lien"&gt; the rest of the world relies on the US to make a recovery&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Kathy Lien&lt;/b&gt; points out in FX360:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The other way to look at the current economic situation is that
if the US economy does not recover, no one else will.&amp;nbsp;Globalization has
increased the mutual dependency of many countries.&amp;nbsp;For export dependent
countries in the Eurozone and Asia,&lt;b&gt; a rebound in US demand is essential
for a recovery&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;That's part of the reason that the dollar is so popular in forex trading: It's a foregone conclusion that the US economy will recover. But what happens to the greenback in &lt;b&gt;currency trading &lt;/b&gt;when it does?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt; &lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Chances are, &lt;b&gt;a new shift toward fundamentals will accompany economic recovery&lt;/b&gt;. And that means a focus on the large amounts of debt being carried by the US government (moving closer to a &lt;a href="http://www.stockmarketfunding.com/SMF-Blogs/Economic-Analysis/March-2009/-Bad-bank--funding-plan-starts-to-get-fleshed-out.aspx" target="_blank" title="dollar forex trading, forex trading, currency trading, FX market, US dollar currency trading, US economy, recession, G7, first in first out, economic recovery, Kathy Lien"&gt;bad bank&lt;/a&gt; isn't really helping much). So it depends on what happens, and how the economy is viewed as it moves toward recovery. It will be an interesting few months for the &lt;b&gt;US dollar in forex trading&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
