Reuters•50 minutes agoDollar dips ahead of U.S. GDP print, shares subdued
The dollar retreated from 23-month highs on Friday ahead of keenly awaited U.S. gross domestic product data for the first quarter, while global shares were on track for a fifth weekly gain in a row despite subdued trade. The U.S. currency has gained strongly over the past few days as investors expect the U.S. economy to outperform the rest of the developed world. "We think the dollar is likely to depreciate when the global economy improves and also when global investors become more risk-averse," said UBS strategists in a research note, in a break with what they said was the dollar's traditional outperformance when the U.S. economy outperforms its peers or when global risk aversion drives investors to the safety of U.S. assets.

Shares were mostly lower in Asia on Friday after an overnight decline on Wall Street spurred by disappointingly weak earnings reports from 3M and some other industrial companies.

Global Stocks Drift Lower Ahead of U.S. GDP Data; Dollar Tests Two-Year High
Analysts are looking for Q1 GDP growth of around 2% as the U.S. economy rides the longest advance on record later this summer. The U.S. dollar trades near a two-year high against a basket of its global peers as major economies continue to suffer from trade disputes and slowing growth. Global oil prices retreat on bets that record U.S. production rates and a change in tack from OPEC members later this spring will clip crude gains in the months ahead.

Global tightening cycle over, slower ride for growth ahead: Reuters poll
Major central banks are done tightening policy, according to a majority of economists polled by Reuters, with the growth outlook wilting across developed and emerging economies along with scant prospects for a surge in inflation. While that is largely reflected in bond markets, with major sovereign bond yields falling this year, global equities have rallied, and the S&P 500 index is near record highs after its best start this year in more than three decades. One striking conclusion from the latest surveys of over 500 economists from around the world, covering more than 40 economies, was not just a toning down of the economic outlook, but a clear shift away from long-held optimistic views.
