US dollar climbs to two week high as tech rout fuels safe haven demand

The US dollar hit a two-week high as investors fled to safe havens amid a global rout in tech stocks. AI spending fears and Japan's election fueled the move.

Insights:
Investors are rapidly unwinding risk positions today following a deep market rout linked to concerns about a surge in AI-related spending this year. This move has lifted the U.S. USUS dollar to near two-week highs, reaching its highest level since January 23, while driving broad declines in global equities, the cryptocurrency market, and precious metals. The ongoing shift is re-pricing risk across multiple asset classes and is significantly affecting currency and bond markets amid several concurrent policy and event catalysts.
