USD/EUR

Am I the only one that has problems following how the stocks are really performing due to the massive loss from the USD value against EUR?


I buy with TR in € but of course I have many positions that trade in USD in their original markets.


It is a bit confusing to see the portfolio go stagnating, with some stocks falling hard (like $PEP (+1,93 %) or $PG (+0,75 %) ) when in reality, the US stocks are not performing bad (or that bad), it is just the fact that when you’ve your portfolio in € your stock goes down by the efect of the exchange rate (USD is now down 12,5% YTD against EUR, wich made a stock that has the same price in USD as it had in January, be down 12,5% if you’ve it in €.


Of course the same applied on the other direction when USD was streghtening against € in 2024, but since I’ve been trading I haven’t seen a fluctuation this big and this fast on the EUR/USD…

And you see a stock (or ETF, crypto, …) that seems to be at a discount, think it is a good deal, but after checking it in USD you realize that it is at ATH. It sucks!

In april everything seemed to be a good deal. And now? Everything is expensive again!

I want another correction…

@Chandra Exactly 🤣
I’m ok with no corrections for now, don’t have much more capital to put in the market

@Nofan jajaja that is clear to me 🤣 but i’d be nice to have the option of seeing the performance of the stock in its original currency..

Well, it's like using a folding rule that constantly changes in size to measure your home ausmessen🤷‍♂️
Better compare the assets with gold or Bitcoin. That's probably more meaningful than with dollars or euros
