Analysts: The dollar's safe-haven position has shaken, and the government shutdown may intensify downside risks

Market analysts pointed out that the dollar has suffered a sell-off since this year, and investors have turned to buy euros, gold, yen and Swiss francs. If the U.S. government shuts down again, the dollar may perform poorly. The Fed restarts the easing cycle and may continue to cut interest rates. Rating agencies such as Moody's downgrade the long-term rating of the United States, affecting the outlook. Traders recently bought the dollar, with net short positions falling from $18 billion in July to $6 billion, but are not prepared for events that weaken the dollar, and the dollar is no longer considered a safe asset and the risk increases.
