Fx daily dollar has lost its safe haven crown
中文标题
FX Daily：美元已失去避险王冠
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Risk-off selling driven by higher oil and AI concerns sent safe-haven flows to the yen and Swiss franc rather than the dollar, helped by falling Treasury yields. The article sees a high bar for pricing out a December Fed hike, limiting dollar losses, while euro sensitivity to French spreads may revive near 200bp and the peso stays exposed to a narrow Banxico-Fed spread.

Key arguments
- The dollar is showing vulnerability to the AI story while the yen and Swiss franc absorb safe-haven demand.
- Equity jitters dent conviction in further Fed tightening, but pricing out a December hike has a high bar.
- Euro sensitivity to France has faded, yet could re-establish fast if a new pain level such as 200bp is breached.
- The peso risks the narrowest on-record Banxico-Fed rate spread should Banxico fail to match a December hike.
Key numbers
- US 10-year Treasury yield
- Below 5.0% (first time in a month)
- 2-year SOFR swap rate
- 4.50% (-15bp)
- OAT-Bund 10-year spread
- 174bp (touched 178bp)
- OAT-BTP spread
- 50bp
- USD/MXN trajectory
- 19.00/19.10 over coming weeks
Main risks
- A renewed spike in French sovereign spreads could sharply revive euro sensitivity.
- A hawkish Banxico surprise could stabilise the peso, contrary to the bearish base case.
- Risk-sentiment stabilisation could consolidate the dollar and reduce yen and franc appeal.
Corresponding source evidence
A further widening in French spreads has not materially hit the euro, but that correlation may spike again soon.
10yr Treasuries broke back below 5.0% for the first time in a month, showing ever-reduced sensitivity to higher oil prices.
Still, the bar for pricing out a December Fed hike appears fairly high, which should prevent larger USD corrections for the moment.
