What are safe haven currencies and when do they strengthen?

I have heard USD, JPY, and CHF called safe havens. Why do these currencies rise during market stress?

In risk-off environments (war, recession fears, market crash), investors flee to safety. JPY and CHF appreciate because traders close carry trades and repatriate capital.

USD is the world reserve currency — demand increases in crisis. Gold also typically rises alongside safe haven currencies. Watch VIX (fear index) as a proxy for safe haven demand.
