Weak dollar

$SPY5 (-1,52 %) The ETF's current book value is still approx. 11% below the ATH. According to the index, however, the S&P 500 is just below the ATH. It is clear that this is due to the weak dollar. But it doesn't help me if I have invested a lot of money in this ETF. How do you do it? Or how would you trade? Thank you

What do you want to hear?
USD will rise again? No, it won't for now. The current USD cycle is over. Historically 30% devaluation potential. But it doesn't matter over 20 years, because the EUR USD ratio will remain roughly the same in the long term.

You can take a hedged ETF in the short term or hedge it yourself with derivatives.

I currently have the $DBPG again. It tracks the index x2.

@Esfsx01 Why? What is fundamentally different except that CHF is a bit stronger?

@Epi check the 10 year chart. Other currencies don't recover loses to Swiss Francs. It's doesn't fluctuate and stay roughly the same, the Swiss Franc keeps on getting stronger.

@Esfsx01 It's still not a "different story". Simply buy CHF-hedged ETFs. That takes care of the currency problem.

@Epi That's the worst advice you could give. If that's the case, then checked the performance of the hedged funds compared to the unhedged ones. Keep the higher TER in mind too.

@Esfsx01 Yes, what now?
Hedging is stupid, not hedging is also stupid. Everything is stupid.
Then unfortunately I can't help you either. Sorry. 🤷

I assume that the dollar will depreciate against the euro by at least another 5-6% over the next 12 months. In my opinion, the question is not whether we will see an exchange rate of 1.20, but when? And an ETF first has to earn these currency losses.
