[BNP Paribas: Fed Rate Cuts May Cause Dollar to Deviate from Historical Patterns] BNP Paribas strategists pointed out in their latest report that if the Federal Reserve announces a rate cut on Wednesday, the dollar's performance may deviate from historical patterns. Typically, after the first rate cut, if it does not trigger an economic recession, the dollar tends to strengthen due to capital inflows into U.S. equities; if a recession occurs, the dollar benefits from safe-haven demand. However, this time the situation may be different. Strategists believe that if recession risks increase, the dollar might instead come under downward pressure, as the current trading logic of the dollar is more inclined to be tied to the volatility of risk assets rather than its traditional safe-haven attributes.
