Is another recession coming?

From NPR:

As the saying goes: What goes up, must come down. But what if something goes up and down at the same time? That's what's happening with interest rates right now: short-term rates are rising, while long-term rates are falling. That could lead to something economists call an "inverted yield curve." And as commentator Gabe Wisdom explains, that is definitely *not* a good thing.

I was watching tv the other day and some dude who knew a lot about economy said there is a chance that Americans will trade in their dollars for euros if the euro keps getting more and more expensive. If this happens this would be a disaster not only for the American economy, but also for the European economy.
