The Weekly FX Navigator: Watch the safe-havens
Show Notes

In this podcast, DJ Cheong talks about recent risk-on/risk-off dynamics and how that may affect currency markets. Traditional safe-haven currencies like the JPY and CHF have notched gains amid global growth fears, continued COVID-19 concerns and geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East. Pairs like EUR/JPY and AUD/JPY look interesting here and could offer investors a tactical opportunity to position for continued risk aversion in the days ahead.
