As the U.S. dollar scaled a fresh 52-week high on Friday morning at 108.071 level, former Goldman Sachs FX strategist and senior fellow at Brookings Institution, Robin Brooks said in an X (formerly Twitter) post that, &#8220;Markets initially got this wrong, driving stocks up sharply right after Nov. 5.&#8221;
He added that &#8220;the prospect of tariffs isn&#8217;t obviously good for equities, while it&#8217;s clearly good for the Dollar. More Dollar strength is coming.&#8221;

What Happened: A chart shared by Brooks compared the S&amp;P 500 Index and the Dollar Index during President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s victory in 2016 and 2024. Measuring the performance of both indices from the day of the election on Nov. 5, the Dollar Index has risen by approximately 3.5%, outperforming the S&amp;P 500 Index, which advanced 2.9%.
Why It Matters: An <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41939162/us-treasuries-edge-up-as-trumps-proposed-policies-possible-rate-cut-may-rekindle-inflation-fears-all-eyes-on-federal-reserves-next-steps">increase in tariffs</a> reduces the demand for imported goods and lifts domestic prices above the free trade price, gradually stoking inflation. This results in monetary tightening affecting the equities in the long run.
However, higher tariffs are positive for the domestic currency as its supply decreases and more money flows into the economy.
What Are Other Analysts Saying: Now that the Dollar Index has surpassed its previous 52-week high of 107.07, &#8220;a break of it may let <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42103600/us-dollar-may-test-10860-level-as-geopolitical-tensions-cautious-fed-rhetoric-and-solid-us-economic-data-may-push-the-greenback-higher-says-expert">it test 108.60 </a>while 105.10 acting as a support,&#8221; said Kunal Sodhani, vice president of the global trading center at Shinhan Bank.
According to him, &#8220;the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East combined with the strong U.S. economic data and the Federal Reserve's cautious rhetoric on interest rate cuts, may push the U.S. Dollar to new highs&#8221;

Financial guidance and long-term targets The macro and microeconomic environment in which Global Blue operates remains highly favorable. The travel industry is experiencing positive trends, particularly in the high-end segment, and Global Blue has made significant progress in implementing strategic initiatives to further penetrate the market. In parallel, Global Blue has continued to outperform in the luxury market, driven by its unique exposure to affluent and high-net-worth international shoppers. That said, considering the recent luxury market slowdown and taking into account the Group's decision to accelerate €5 million of investments (fixed costs) in future growth initiatives (expansion into new countries, adaptation of Japan's business model and Hospitality Gateway), we have adapted our FY24/25 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to €185 million - $205 million.
Long-term targets include 8-12% revenue growth, &gt;50% drop-through, and a net leverage ratio of &lt;2.5x.

Ahead of the potential market correction,&nbsp;Brian Arcese&nbsp;from&nbsp;Foord Asset Management&nbsp;has highlighted concerns over the U.S. economic growth and corporate earnings. These factors could trigger a correction if they continue to slow down.
What Happened: Arcese warned that a market correction could occur if U.S. GDP or earnings growth slows. Arcese noted that the S&amp;P 500 has&nbsp;been &#8220;expensive for quite a&nbsp;while,&#8221; with a price-to-earnings ratio exceeding 27, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/22/sp-correction-could-happen-if-gdp-or-earnings-growth-slows-says-asset-manager.html">reported</a>&nbsp;on Friday.
"We do think that a correction would be healthy, but you will need some type of catalyst for that correction to take place,&#8221; he said, highlighting two potential catalysts for a correction: slowing economic growth and inflation increases. 
U.S. GDP growth was less than anticipated in the third quarter, and&nbsp;inflation rose to 2.6% in&nbsp;October, as per recent data. He emphasized that high corporate earnings expectations, particularly outside IT and communication services, could also trigger a correction if growth slows.

Arcese remarked on the unusual combination of factors like GDP growth, earnings growth, and&nbsp;falling inflation and interest rates, which he described as rare. He noted that while utilities are more expensive than before, they remain less costly than the broader market, with growth driven by increased electricity demand from data centers and AI advancements.
Why It Matters: The concerns raised by Arcese align with recent warnings from other financial experts.&nbsp;David Einhorn, founder of Greenlight Capital<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42087680/billionaire-investor-david-einhorn-calls-it-most-expensive-market-of-all-time-as-sp-500-gains-4-since-trumps-win-really-really-pricey">, recently labeled the current market</a> as &#8220;the most expensive of all time,&#8221; citing the high Shiller cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio.
Similarly,&nbsp;Stifel&#8217;s&nbsp;Barry Bannister predicted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40974512/stifel-warns-of-12-market-drop-by-end-of-2024-as-s-p-500-faces-high-valuations-and-speculative-r">12% market drop</a> by the end of 2024, driven by high valuations and speculative risks. The S&amp;P 500&#8217;s price-to-earnings multiple is nearing historic highs, reminiscent of previous market peaks.
Despite these concerns,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42024472/goldman-sachs-us-to-dominate-2025-growth-with-2-5-gdp-boost-euro-area-will-struggle">Goldman Sachs&nbsp;forecasts </a>strong U.S. economic growth in 2025, with a 2.5% GDP boost, suggesting potential resilience in the face of current market challenges.
Price Action: As of Friday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 closely witnessed a 25.60% increase in its year-to-date (YTD) returns while Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) saw a hike of 25.43%. However, during pre-market hours on Friday, both the ETFs were trading slightly lower.

Insights From Analysts:
Powell's relatively hawkish tone has investors cautious in the markets. With the Trump trade losing steam, the focus is now on the President-elect's Treasury pick.
"In focus currently is President-elect Trump's pick for the influential post of US Treasury Secretary. Given the large US budget deficit, investors will probably want to see a safe pair of hands being chosen," ING analysts said in a note.
With the next rate cut now a coin toss, the U.S. dollar could see a correction. According to ING analyst Francesco Pesole, the dollar is "testing the limit" of its longs and traders should exercise caution for the time being.
"Powell seemed to put greater emphasis on the strength of the economy&nbsp;and how that allows the central bank to approach the upcoming policy decisions ‘carefully'."
CME Group's FedWatch tool <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">reflected</a> the fall in sentiment for another rate cut next month, with its probability declining to 59.6% from 72.2%.
&#8220;The case for a Fed pause in December is getting stronger and Fed officials are communicating that they are open to it going into the next meeting,&#8221; Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Schwab, said in a recent note.
&#8220;It will come down to employment and inflation data.&#8221;
