Future of Safe Haven currencies --> Flashback to 2008 analysis Hi all!
This is my idea on the future of the so-called Safe Haven currencies. Remember, people in the need of defense against coming inflation turn into currencies or gold as they do not have much knowledge or energy for other assets. This is why good analysis is needed to see in what currency to invest.
In the post-crisis period (4 years), both sides, the euro, and dollar initially behaved the same, reducing from their "crisis" peaks. In the longer term, the euro was most stable, consolidating in the upper/middle limits of the crisis. In turn, the dollar was marked by a stronger initial correction (it lasted about 260 days after the economy calmed down), then the rate accounted for fluctuations due to uncertainty. Frank had the best percentage return, moreover, it did not experience such corrections as the dollar in the same period. Look at the graph and compare the marked period, you will see that all three currencies behave more the same as in 2008.
Key Facts:
- the franc earned the most but the value of covid financial aid is unprecedented,
- the dollar did not repeat the history in 100% and fell below the pre-covid rate (a chance for an increase),
- printing the dollar does not help its rate, rather flooding the capital market with cash (blowing a bubble).
I encourage you to do your own analysis based on your home currency, I used zloty as the second currency in the pair.
