They consider currencies...not bonds...as the safe havens.

"You want to stay away from the euro and dollar because this is really an ugly pair and there are alternatives,” says one trader.
“It’s a kind of ugly-dog competition and it’s not really that you prefer a currency, it’s just which one is under less pressure at a particular time,” observes a global strategist.
