[Analyst: The Safe-Haven Status of the Dollar May Be Impacted by Government Shutdown] September 30 - Analysts point out that the safe-haven status of the dollar has been somewhat shaken this year, with investors turning to assets like the euro and gold. If the U.S. government shuts down, the dollar may face further downside risks. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's easing policies and credit rating agencies downgrading the U.S. credit rating could exacerbate the pressure. While traders have recently reduced short positions on the dollar, they are underprepared for potential risks, and the dollar's safe-haven asset attribute may continue to weaken.
