2024 年的全球经济前景仍不明朗，欧元区、英国和美国等主要经济体面临的挑战日益严峻。衰退、停滞和结构性问题对这些经济体造成了影响，而中国则面临着制造业、增长下滑和房地产行业不稳定等挑战。此外，印度、美国和英国等国即将举行大选，这为潜在新政府的经济处理增加了不确定性。
欧洲，尤其是欧元区，正努力应对人口老龄化、高利率、工业产出挑战和缺乏乐观情绪等问题。欧元区已进入衰退期，油价飙升、进口成本增加以及欧元兑美元疲软使情况雪上加霜。主要经济体，尤其是欧洲经济体面临的挑战使经济形势令人担忧。

与主要经济体的挣扎相反，新兴市场及其货币可能会在全球经济的不确定性中找到机会。受石油和天然气价格走强、限产和地缘政治阻力的影响，海湾国家货币可能成为显著的赢家。注重贸易、投资和基础设施发展的阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯和卡塔尔等国的货币可能会走强。
预计墨西哥的增长速度将超过全球增长速度，这主要得益于本土化的努力、出口带动的增长以及即将到来的美国大选。墨西哥比索（MXN）已经开始对美元走强。受益于反华生产计划的国家，如越南和印度，通过保持低外债、促进出口导向型增长和刺激内需，将在 2024 年蓬勃发展。
如果中国和欧洲的经济挑战导致政府采取重大刺激措施，这将进一步支持新兴经济体。西方主导的经济模式面临着高额国债和赤字的威胁，而金砖国家集团的强大则对这一模式提出了挑战，可能会增加发达市场对出口产品的需求。
美元升值和高利率环境促使亚洲交易者寻求安全。对于拥有大量美元债务的新兴市场来说，这可能会导致财政挑战。然而，那些没有美元债务的市场则可能从中受益。政治稳定，尤其是发达经济体的多次选举，可能会影响投资者的情绪，为审查较少地区的货币创造机会。
虽然昂贵的美元和高利率带来了挑战，但也为那些以美元赚取收入或向蓬勃发展的经济体出口的国家提供了机遇。从中国转向其他国家的趋势仍在继续，2024 年的形势为某些国家提供了机会，包括海湾地区、墨西哥、越南和阿根廷。
2024 年的宏观经济形势喜忧参半，新兴市场及其货币的表现可能优于面临挑战的主要经济体。海湾地区、墨西哥、越南等国可能会利用独特的经济政策和外部因素，在全球不确定性中提供货币走强的机会。
