That has left investors piling into other traditional safe-haven assets such as the dollar and gold, as well as short-term debt. Volatility in stocks has been accompanied by increased gyrations in the Treasury market. The MOVE index, which measures expected volatility in US Treasuries, stands near a four-month high.

The index's defensive sectors have been battered this year, with utilities down about 18 per cent, consumer staples off nearly 9 per cent and healthcare down roughly 6 per cent, partly because higher yields on Treasuries have dulled their allure. In currencies, the Swiss franc, a longstanding safe haven asset, stands near its highest level against the euro since 2015. The dollar is up 5 per cent in the last three months.
