Eh.... So you have a few choices when it comes to currencies. You can go FXB, FXE, FXA, FXC, FXY, etc. Or you can go with the corresponding future, /6B, /6E, /6A, /6C, /6J. The futures options are much more liquid than the ETF equivalent.
The Invesco currency ETFs for several currencies also earn some interest: FXE (Euros), FXA (Australia), FXB (UK), FXC (Canada). The FXF (Francs) and FXY (Yen) do not. The collection of these (UDN) all together does earn some interest.
Here's a list of etfs that hold other currencies. Call options on these would accomplish what you're trying to do. FXE = Euro FXB = British pound FXF = Swiss franc FXY = Japanese Yen FXC = Canadian dollar FXA = Australian dollar GLD = Gold
Good time to put your dollars into other currencies. FXE = Euro FXB = British pound FXF = Swiss franc FXY = Japanese Yen FXC = Canadian dollar FXA = Australian dollar GLD = Gold
Yes. If you have a lot of cash in usd, you can buy currency etfs to hedge against dollar decline. FXE = Euro FXB = British pound FXF = Swiss franc FXY = Japanese Yen FXC = Canadian dollar FXA = Australian dollar GLD = Gold
You can use the same argument for anything though. We could have 10-20% inflation. The rest of the market could dump in a recession. Without some kind of data backed analysis it means nothing and it’s just fear mongering to say that something “could fall to xyz” levels. What hard data is that comment of yours based on? Considering that scenario, I truly I don’t think gold would drop past $2500 if it even got that far, at least for a substantial amount of time, aka a shaped recovery in gold as people reallocate themselves. In the past, money would move to US treasuries, which isn’t the same mechanism as today. Gold is a currency agnostic hedge to retain purchasing power. If gold goes down, it’s likely other currencies, along with the USD, will fall with it. I believe the dip on gold in the past couple of weeks was due to broad market restructuring where funds that were holding a partial gold allocation were getting sold, thus selling gold, also selling gold hedges to cover margin and other losses. The global inflows to gold at this point are clear and foreign central banks are increasing gold reserves at an increasing pace. Looking at the retail gold market it’s becoming hard to find in stock and it dried up quickly. I’ve been watching this unfold for months and tracking various metrics around it. I’ve already done rear looking peak to trough analysis on gold in past recessions and looking at comparative money flows for safe havens and Gold more promising to me than other options right now. I don’t think a few years back people would have predicted that us treasuries wouldn’t be the safe haven they once were, but here we are. This lack of predictability also means I could completely wrong but I’m following the smell on this one and I believe in where it’s leading me. Also, one of my goals is to preserve spending power on a global scale. Sitting in USD is eroding in value against other currencies day by dad this past couple of weeks. Check out FXC, FXE, FXY, FXF, DXY. Losing 10-20% on gold is relative, it’s difficult to adopt a multi currency mindset when understanding complex market movements.
I’m actually restricted from direct FX markets bc of my job (wealth management at a big firm) so I use currency ETFs to get exposure to the major global currencies against the dollar. FXF tracks the Franc/USD pair. UUP tracks DXY. The pairs against the dollar are FXE, FXB, FXY, FXA, FXF, and FXC.
I’m mid-late 30s, $5M in gold ETFs, I moved to cash a month back after a gut feeling about what would happen in the markets. I’ve bought partially into gold ETFs at the start of the month and was back and forth on if it’s the right move or not. After seeing the bond markets and watching the VIX, the dollar strength decline (DXY) and watching other currencies trackers (FXC, FXE, FXY, FXF) and seeing weakness in the dollar and no other safe haven to protect against inflation and erosion of USD hegemony I decided this week it was time to all-in except for a few % for a couple years of living expenses. I’m in preservation mode currently and I believe gold will likely hit $4k by the end of 2025. I see foreign countries adding to their gold reserves, UST yields dropping meaning they are being sold off. I was 100% cash before and times it pretty well but I needed to make another move to prevent erosion of purchasing power on a global scale if I decide to leave the US. I’ve been buying physical gold as a prepper move to help if I need to cross a border and digital assets are locked. Usually buy physical from Costco but they just lowered their limits and it’s extremely hard to time it properly to find it in stock online. Maybe gold has a pull back like last week but I see the world moving to it as the new go to safe haven instead of the USD and UST (US Treasuries not tether).
Most ETF sellers have a good offer of China’s ETFs. I am invested in FXC.
I use FXC, it Takes away all the struggles
Hi. I’m regarded and traded options without being properly informed. I’m not going to do it again. Can someone tell me if I’m fucked or not? I bought an FXC 2/21 $67 put. Right now, FXC dropped to $65.75 after hours, so I should be in the money. My contract’s current price is $0.01, so I shouldn’t be able to sell to close. Basically, is there anyway I could end up losing more than my $85 premium?
Tariff's War Ahead ! Advanced Options Strategy for Trading a U.S.-Canada Tariff War (Complex & Profitable) # Advanced Options Trading Strategies for a 25% U.S. Tariff Impact on Canada 🚀 **"Tariff's Scenario Trader" Playbook: High-Probability, Multi-Leg Option $trategies** This will focus on **leveraging volatility, sector rotation, and directional biases** using **spreads, butterflies, and ratio strategies**. # 📌 1. Short CAD Weakness with a Put Spread on FXC (Invesco Canadian Dollar ETF) 📉 **Trade Thesis:** A tariff war will weaken CAD. FXC (Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust) tracks CAD/USD. # 🔹 $trategy: Bear Put Spread (Directional Downside on CAD) * **Buy** 1x **FXC $72 Put** (Long) * **Sell** 1x **FXC $70 Put** (Short) * Expiry: **3 months out** (to catch prolonged tariff impact) * **Net Debit**: Around **$0.80 – $1.00 per spread** 🔴 **Why?** * Limited downside risk with a max profit at $70 strike. * CAD depreciation due to tariffs benefits this play. # 📌 2. Exploit Canadian Auto Weakness via Ratio Put Spread on Magna International (MG.TO) 📉 **Trade Thesis:** Auto stocks like **Magna (MG.TO)** face supply chain disruptions, labor layoffs, and declining demand. # 🔹 Strategy: 1x2 Ratio Put Spread (Bearish, Volatility Play) * **Buy** 1x **Magna $55 Put** (ITM) * **Sell** 2x **Magna $50 Puts** (OTM) * Expiry: **Next 2-3 months** * **Net Credit**: Around **$1.50 - $2.00 per spread** 🔴 **Why?** * This **profits if Magna drops to \~$50** due to tariffs. * If Magna **falls too much**, losses are capped due to the long $55 put. * **Ideal in high volatility scenarios** (tariff fear spikes implied volatility). # 📌 3. Long U.S. Steel (NUE) via a Call Debit Spread 📈 **Trade Thesis:** If Canadian steel/aluminum gets hit with tariffs, U.S. steelmakers (like **Nucor - NUE**) benefit from reduced competition. # 🔹 Strategy: Bull Call Spread (Directional Upside) * **Buy** 1x **NUE $140 Call** (Long) * **Sell** 1x **NUE $150 Call** (Short) * Expiry: **2 months** * **Net Debit**: \~$3.00 🔴 **Why?** * Limited risk, **max profit if NUE rises above $150**. * NUE **historically surges** during steel tariffs (2018 trade war). # 📌 4. High-Volatility Butterfly on Suncor (SU.TO) 🎭 **Trade Thesis:** Oil reacts strongly to tariffs. **If Canadian oil exports get hit**, Suncor will see increased volatility. # 🔹 Strategy: Long Straddle Butterfly (Volatility Play) * **Buy** 1x [**SU.TO**](http://SU.TO) **$40 Call** * **Buy** 1x [**SU.TO**](http://SU.TO) **$40 Put** * **Sell** 2x [**SU.TO**](http://SU.TO) **$42 Calls** * **Sell** 2x [**SU.TO**](http://SU.TO) **$38 Puts** * Expiry: **1 month** * **Net Debit**: \~$1.50 🔴 **Why?** * **Wins big if oil markets swing massively**. * If Suncor moves **above $42 or below $38**, this trade profits. * If oil remains stable, losses are limited to the debit paid. # 📌 5. Selling Fear with a Put Credit Spread on XLE (U.S. Energy ETF) 📈 **Trade Thesis:** U.S. energy companies **benefit if Canadian oil supply drops** (leading to higher U.S. crude prices). # 🔹 Strategy: Bull Put Spread (Selling Downside Fear) * **Sell** 1x **XLE $75 Put** * **Buy** 1x **XLE $70 Put** * Expiry: **1-2 months** * **Net Credit**: \~$1.50 🔴 **Why?** * This bet **profits if XLE stays above $75**. * **Collect premium from high implied volatility**, which typically spikes during trade war fears. # 🔥 Bonus: Hedge with a VIX Call Debit Spread 📈 **Trade Thesis:** Tariff news **spikes market volatility**. If the S&P 500 drops, VIX (market volatility index) surges. # 🔹 Strategy: Bull Call Spread on VIX * **Buy** 1x **VIX $16 Call** * **Sell** 1x **VIX $20 Call** * Expiry: **1 month (short-term hedge)** * **Net Debit**: \~$0.90 🔴 **Why?** * If tariffs cause panic, **VIX explodes**, making this spread very profitable. # 📊 Portfolio Allocation & Risk Management * **CAD Weakness Play** → 20% * **Auto Short Play** → 20% * **Steel Long Play** → 15% * **Oil Volatility Play** → 15% * **Energy Stability Play** → 15% * **VIX Hedge** → 15% # 📝 Final Thoughts 🔹 **Best Case**: * CAD weakens → FXC put spread prints 💰. * Magna drops → Ratio spread wins. * U.S. steel rises → NUE call spread profits. * Oil swings → Suncor butterfly explodes. 🔹 **Worst Case (Low Impact Tariffs or Reversal)**: * FXC CAD trade fails (but limited loss). * Magna stabilizes (ratio spread loss is minimal). * Suncor remains flat (butterfly loss is contained). * VIX doesn’t spike (small loss on hedge). **🚀 This is a professional-grade, multi-layered tariff trade strategy.** **Share yor plays....**
You can get dollar funds like $UUP, $USDU if you're bullish on the dollar or $UDN if you're bearish on the dollar. You can also bet on Canadian dollars $FXC or Euro with $FXE. Canadian dollar has to go back up eventually it's a good play for the long term
Man, i hope somehow this makes my Canadian dollar calls moon! (FXC) ((not mooning)) (((damn you marketwatch))) ((((damn you kevin green!!!))))
I was more saying that I got lucky with the timing of the trades. FXA and FXC had been down a few points but they've leveled back out. I think it was likely the events of last Monday when the whole market reacted and I just got lucky
I've been investing in FXY cause I like the currency. Don't much care about the returns for this one in particular, I just like that I'm getting it low. Had some AUD (FXA) and CAD (FXC) too but I sold them for the time being (got low and sold at the high) to put further into the yen. Is it ideal? Probably not. Will I make money off it? Probably not. But I am thinking I'll just hold it into my lifetime.
For US investors, there are funds such as FXC (Canada dollar), FXE (Euro), FXB (GBP), etc. These used to pay an interest rate, but their dividends went away as interest rates fell, and I don't think any of them pays anything. (I haven't looked lately). If you're really confident of a short-term move, these might be appropriate. I agree that in general, equities are a better idea, although the US market is very overvalued in historical terms. (Markets can have historically weird valuations for a very long time).
Short FXC if you realy want too
$FXC$ is their currency ETF which you can short
You could short FXC. If the Canadian housing market collapses they would drop interest rates, print money, and likely hurt their currency.
Bought BTU, FXC, AVUV, AVDV today. Might buy some AMR tomorrow.
miners gang FXC solid af 
FXC is Canadian Currency Shares
Hey buddy, I had this idea for now or next few months once USD hits 1.4-1.45 relative to CAD (if and when this recession happens). Are you looking at doing this again? I'm thinking of calls on FXC. All the naysayers on this thread didn't realize the opportunity during the covid crash, and nor did I. Won't be missing that chance again. Wondering if we should create a new more current thread on this?
I am a bot. You submitted a picture of a banned ticker, FXC. The market cap of FXC is **157122000** This check will fire if you included unnecessary pictures that have bad keywords/phrases. Repost with the useless pictures omitted if you did that.

Super basic ones like TOP, N, DES, ECO, FXC, COMP, H
Looking for feedback/opinions on my portfoilo. Been investing for ~10 years, with 30 years to go before retirement: Total Holdings: $212K IRA: $147K , Roth 401K: $52k, Roth IRA: $8k, Brokerage: $5k DBA: 18% XOP: 14% SWYMX: 10% Cash: 9% VXUS: 7% VOO: 7% DBC: 6% HMC: 6% FXC: 6% MESA: 5% BIG: 3% The rest are made of smaller, not largely meaningful positions. Any feedback is appreciated!
Copper miners. FXC is the move imo.
[Hot times in the industry..](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8FXC9fODQs)
I don't think I have access to any Canadian companies, my broker just offers a small selection of CME futures and they include a few forex ones in that. FXC or /6C are prob the closest I can get to directly betting on Canada over the US
I was looking to park some of my cash in FXC because at least it would trend up if the USD continued to deteriorate against the CAD and provide some level of hedge, even if small. I think your advice to put every dollar I have toward the loan balance is poor, for a few reasons. One being I need liquid assets in the event I run into a problem like my car gets totaled. Two being the interest is around 3% per year when I could make more than that in the market (I’ve made 26% on my small cap value ETF since December). Honestly mate you keep acting like I’m an idiot but I think you’re the idiot and your advice is shit
I want to hedge against the risk that the USD continues to weaken against the CAD. The FXC is similar to just buying that CAD/USD exchange rate, no? It wouldn’t have much of an impact anyway I’m wondering if you have any better ideas
Why are you looking into buying FXC? Do you mean to buy in USD and sell in CAD? I don't know what you mean by hedge here
My FXC calls every time I open my account -2%, +7%, -5%, +8% what the fuck lol stop playin with me
**Opinions needed on my approach to investing long term and saving money for retirement!** Hi Peeps! I am in the process of composing a diverse, defensive portfolio in which I can safely invest my money for the long term (25-35 yrs). I plan on setting up a monthly autoinvest and just forget about it. I would like to hear your thoughts on my findings so far: •**SPXP** \- Invesco S&P 500 GBX (Accumulating) •**EIMI** \- iShares Core MSCI EM IMI (0% Yield) •**FXC** \- iShares China Large Cap (Distributing) •**CNDX** \- iShares NASDAQ 100 (Accumulating) •**TRET** \- VanEck Vector Global Real Estate (Distributing) •And finally I am looking for a good UCITS alternative for **VGK - Vanguard European Stock Index Fund ETF**. Can someone recommend me an ETF like this? Preferably Accumulating. Note: I cannot buy US domiciled ETFs, I'm from Europe. I prefer **accumulating** ETFs, but I couldn't find any for the Chinese markets and global real estate. If you know better ones, please share them with me! I think it's a complete and diverse portfolio with some focus on chinese and emerging markets. I'm okay with the added risk from these markets as I'm still quite young (26). That said, I don't really have any experience in ETF investing so any input would be highly appreciated! Note: I am going to invest a portion of my wealth in my country's government bonds as they are tax-free so this is why I didn't include any bond ETF in this portfolio. So what do you guys think? Is it missing anything? (commodities maybe?) Is it too heavy on something? I have yet to figure out the weighting of each ETF. Is this a viable approach or am I sorely mistaken? Thanks!
