TREE NEWS reports: Deutsche Bank’s global head of FX strategy George Saravelos said in a Friday client note that the dollar’s traditional safe-haven status can no longer be taken for granted if the AI-driven market rally reverses. Risks to the dollar are “much more two-sided than markets have priced over the past few weeks,” he wrote, pointing to recent simultaneous weakness in tech stocks and the dollar. “The ‘AI dollar’ has arrived,” the report said.
Deutsche Bank Warns Dollar Haven Status at Risk in ‘AI Dollar’ Era
The notable shift here is not the dollar's weakness itself but the correlation: Deutsche Bank is flagging that the same AI narrative propping up both tech equities and the currency could unwind in tandem, which undermines the dollar's role as a hedge rather than simply its direction. This matters most for allocators who have treated dollar exposure as ballast against equity risk — that assumption is what Saravelos is questioning. Whether the recent co-movement persists, and whether other strategists adopt the framing, is the open question.
