Certainly not, but I can throw a few hundred bucks into calls and have some fun watching what happens. Obviously nobody should full port into FXY calls but it sounds like it’s going to be a fun lottery ticket
[This](https://occupywallst.com/yen) outlines a thesis on why this is due to yen carry trade. Bought calls on FXY for shits and giggles
So invest in FXY and expect to lose the money?
I'm in FXY and YEN as a hedge. Still keeping some small and mid US caps, so have not completely lost faith in the Nasdaq and Wall St. However to be clear, this is not financial advice of course and volatility must be stomached.
No stay away from the carry trade. You long the currency or do what I just just get June FXY cals
Thanks so much that is very helpful. For "foreign unhedged bonds" which ones do you have or can you give examples of popular ones. So I have a bank account that can hold foreign currencies, I was thinking about buying some foreign currencies since USD kept depreciating. But then I found out about currency ETFs like FXY, FXE. However I am new to this currency ETF, any advice/tips/suggestion would be very appreciate. thanks so much!
You left out the Yen carry trade stuff (FXY if you want to follow along), if the Fed has to intervene, that could be very problematic; and that’s putting it lightly. Prompt your favorite AI (not Grok) with the following ```What would the action look like if the fed, and BOJ took mutual action to stabilize the Yen?``` It’s a pretty good, if not slightly frightening read, and gives a lot more context and texture around why silver and gold are mooning.
FXY 2/20 60c If there is surprise dovishness from the fed, this is going to 🚀. Central banks also want the yen lower. Don’t fight the fed(s)
I don't like playing with short-dated options. I also don't trade currency futures. Consequently, the gains that I could get from holding shares of FXY relative to the fluctuation in commodities prices would not make that play attractive to me.
News reported a spike in the Yen 5 minutes before close. I wasn’t sure what that meant so I ask AI (decent read). TLDR. You want FXY calls, and QQQ puts. QQQ to 612 is possible, but I took SPX 6800 instead. I know 150 entry. It’s 3.00 ah, which I know doesn’t mean shit, but at least it’s not red. Pay attention to Yen, and Japanese markets into Monday, if you can afford it, a SPY put yolo a couple points out won’t hurt too much.
Please wait for foreign exchange, watch FXY
So... March 2026 PUTS on TLT? March 2026 CALLS on FXY? Where we going...
$124,574 portfolio as of close on 10DEC. Portfolio allocations below are approximate. > SQQQ - 15% (percentage includes some 2 month out sold puts in total notional value. I sell calls periodically to offset the volatility decay). > FXY - 25% (FXY is Japanese yen currency ETF purchased in USD). I see this as basically a cash position and a hedge against USD dropping and upside on Japan interest rate hike together with US-Japan carry trade unwinding with fed cutting rates). > LEGN - 5 % (with plans to increase to 8% max allocation. last 2 earnings reports show moving towards profitability in the CAR-T cell therapy space (not profitable yet, but looking better) > US10Y - 5% (bought at 4.4%) > SPY - 5% (ish - have been trimming this for the past 3 months heavily from initial allocation of 15%) > USD (cash)- 45%. Used for maintenance of sold out positions and reserves for increasing above position sizes based on market dynamics.
Japan carry trade unwind because of BoJ interest rate increase, plus impending US interest rate decrease, is it priced in already? Would it be a bad idea to load up on FXY?
Already long the FXY. But wondering if I should go more risk off and build cash rn.
Long FXY to hedge if u want
Definitely $FXF , maybe $FXY ?
It isn't complicated. There are etfs for most major currencies. Like FXF, FXE, FXY, FXA
There is a Francs etf FXJ and JPY ETF which is FXY. I briefly looked at IGOV and BWZ. My main hedge is gold. Been in it since 2022 and added a good amount in February. Gold seems kind of high I’m not sure what accounts for the values mooning. Maybe retail is finally coming around to what has been a consensus trade…
FXE for euro FXF for Swiss Franc FXB for UK pound sterling FXC for the Canadian maple back FXY for Japanese yen
I don’t know fuck about shit …. But I have a feeling Japan is gonna sink us !banbet FXY $65.10 6d !banbet spy 625 6d 6j .0064
You'll benefit more from a fund that tracks DXY (UUP) or yen (FXY) if you're thinking about commodities imo. Too many deflation flags firing
FXE, FXF, FXY, GLD, TBT, and UVIX are my insurance plan in case things go tits up with the USD
You and I are sharing four holdings. Instead of VXUS, I just do VT to cover my bases, and I don't mess with REITs anymore, but otherwise I'm in that same boat holding FXF, FXE, SCHY, and BNDW. I was holding FXY for a bit there, then realized Japan is probably just going to keep printing money, so they'll probably be one of the few countries sure to decline against us.
I did the same thing. All the administration's rhetoric pointed to reducing US exposure. Increasing isolationism + loss of trust from allies + pressure to increase NATO military spending: invest in European non-US defense spending (EUAD and KDEF) Dollar devaluation: protect uninvested cash with foreign currencies, precious metals, and safe foreign-denominated bonds (FXE, FXF, FXY, GLD, IGOV) My cash alone has outperformed VOO over the past 3 months. If a cult of unchecked loudmouth lunatics hellbent on getting their way tell you their plans: believe them.
I manage two portfolios for my personal money. One is a 60/40 portfolio but instead of bonds I swing trade currencies using ETFs. You could just hold one if those ETFs (or a combination of them) in a brokerage acct and earn the dividends while they track their designated currency pair. CADUSD is FXC and EURUSD is FXE. There’s also FXB, FXY, FXA, and FXF.
bro, there's an etf for yen FXY. use it instead of futures next time.
Yeah, I'm already holding FXF, FXE, and FXY. But this has been a recent thing, I'm concerned about the Fed firing up the money printer for a long, sustained time.
yeah, I mean this has played out (FXF is up 11% YTD). may keep playing out could hold: FXF, FXY, FXA international unhedged bonds gold emerging market stocks other commodities
I get your concern. I've ended up with a mix of: bonds & fixed income (various, inc. global unhedged) short term treasuries (SGOV) growth equities (cybersecurity, battery tech, others) commodities (PDBC, DBA, IAU) currency exposure (FXY, FXF, FXA) divident & income stocks (SCHD, MO, others)
I'm not going to lie, I sold all of my GLD today. Having invested through the first gold bubble, I rode this one until I started seeing reguards using copper as a proxy play, and now that SLV broke out, I'm getting out while the getting is good. It was free money for a good while, but fool me twice.... can't be fooled again. I'm long FXB, FXE, and FXY (brit monie, europoor money, and some asian money probs rice) as my play against the dollar. I think that will capture the devaluation of the dollar against other major currencies just fine, and far safer than yellow rock.
I have just recently been researching this and here is where I am starting to look into. For a pure currency play, currency ETFs like FXE, FXB, FXY, or CEW (multi-currency strategy). For both equity growth and currency exposure, ETFs like VEA, VWO, IEFA, or IEMG. I haven't gotten too far into research on these individually, but that is my plan for this weekend and create a port strategy.
I bought FXY back in April and couldn't have timed it worse.. I bought at the top.. and now I've been waiting for FXY to go up a little so I can reclaim some of my losses. Now I'm confused what other currency funds would be a safer bet. I am concerned I'm 100% USD
What's up with FXY? Is Japan kill
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.
VITL - going to $100. Egg prices should skyrocket this year FXY - PT $90. yen etf as usdjpy goes to 115 and DXY tanks GFS - the most underrated chip foundry, will become the next TSM esp given the focus on bringing semi chip production to the U.S.
All fun cash is going into ITM FXY calls because apparently you can't trade futures on fidelity. Only thing with a clear path forward, everything else be damned
I know, if it keeps going this way I'm going to long FXY soon
Instead of shorting $NVDA $PLTR, why not just buy the Yen?? $FXY is an iShares ETF for the Yen and $YCL is an ultra 2x leveraged Yen ETF. All these tech stocks have been moving inverse the Yen and US 10 yr for quite awhile now. Now I'm waiting for a pullback close to 147-148 Yen/USD, The Yen should strengthen moving lower (higher vs USD) with hint of a US Fed rate cut and also strength when all these leveraged long $MAGS stocks bought on margin need to be covered.
I went to cash -- belatedly. I feel like an idiot for staying in 15% buffer-EFTs until last week instead of making the move November 5th. I don't know the future (or claim to know it) but it does seem uncertain in a unique way -- the possible end of NATO, the Ukraine, the dollar as a reserve currency, the whole post-WWII world order. The usual pieties about the market always coming back seems distinctly out of date, and, anyway, I am not a youth who has decades to wait and see. So I'm in CDs, with about a third in Swiss Franc ETF, foreign bonds iGOV and BWX, Yen (FXY)
Although i am still in the market i am holding more cash than usual atm. I put a fair amount of it into FXE, FXF, FXY and FXA to hedge against the dollar.
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.
I moved quite a bit of my cash funds into FXF, FXE, FXY and FXA. These track the Swiss franc, Euro, Yen and AUD vs USD. If the dollar drops relative to these their value will increase. I was planning on buying some of these currencies directly but this was easier.
FXE (Euro): +6.47% FXY (Japanese Yen): +6.07% FXF (Swiss Franc): +9.27% FXB (British Pound): +3.57
JPY is the ticker for the Yen currency.. ZAR.JPY or USD.JPY are some currency pairs for example. It’s not FXY.USD or similar. FXY is an ETF
You are 100%. I googled Japanese Yen ETF and its what came up. This is why you dont trust Redditors alone. We are tarded... the logic is there though. FXY Is the correct ticker.
> FXY do you know the equivalents for francs and euros?
Is it stupid or smart to put my emergency fund in FXE and FXY
As with most things, there's an [ETF for Yen](https://etfdb.com/etf/FXY/#etf-ticker-profile).
FXE is the etf for Euros. FXF is the etf for swiss francs. FXY is the etf for the japanese yen. FXB is the ETF for for british pounds. There is also always GLD as the main etf for gold futures. UDN is there if you want to short the dollar.
For USD and YEN. You can look at FXY. It does not move too quickly vs the currency itself At 1: 157. FXY was about $58.5, it is at about $64.8 now. YTD gain is about 11 percent. Not financial advice and not promoting FXY.
I'm strongly considering putting my emergency fund in FXY and FXE but the fact that I think it's a good idea makes me think it might be really stupid
I went with 1/4 in FXE, FXY and FXF (short term until there is more visibility), 1/4 US Corp bonds in safe bets and 1/4 in a structured note w/30% downside protection and 1/4 in international funds.
I read that it’s better to buy bonds in the currency so you get interest and not just have it sitting in cash in another currency. I do have FXE and FXY, though.
I'm carrying FXF, FXY, FXA. But no where near that allocation. I think 5% total depending on the day. It's a hedge more than a full play.
I started looking into those assets myself like a week or two ago. Across Fidelity accounts, I have: * Gold: IAUM (has lowest fees) or GLD for commodity exposure. I bought some IAG for mining back in Nov and it's up 45%; still seems cheap based on fundamentals * Swiss franc: FXF * Yen: FXY * Silver: SLV, but I didn't buy any because silver tends to correlate more with market performance, which is kinda what I was hoping to avoid
I have ETFs such as FXE, FXY, and FXB. There's fintech apps like wise and revolut work a bit like venmo with the added feature to do currency exchanges. I'm new to those apps but my understanding is that it's not really meant to hold large sums for a long period of time. But I did some exchanges for trips I have planned. I would very much like to get a foreign bank account. From what I understand as an American you do suddenly feel a lot less free when you have the audacity to try and be a customer of a non-american bank but it's something worth looking at if you have a lot of cash.
Money market fund to avoid transferring between a bank and my brokerage account and still collect some interest. I’m using SWVXX, but feel free to look around. Foreign currency ETFs as well, I’m holding some FXE and FXY.
If you're only concerned about USD depreciation, you can hedge with FXE, FXY, UDN, etc. That will not address higher inflation or stagflation though.
FXE and FXY- they’ve both jumped a lot since the beginning of April but ultimately it comes down to whether you think the admin will take steps to strengthen the dollar again or will try to further weaken it. I don’t do forex at all so I just took small positions in each as an experiment.
I'm up 6% on FXY since March 11 on half my portfolio....
FXF, FXE, FXY, but have looked at setting up a Swiss bank account… maybe worth it more if things really do go south here..
Spreading a portion of my reserves among FXF, FXE, FXY, FXB, as well as gold. The first four above are ETFs tracking the Swiss Franc, Euro, Yen, and Great British Pound, respectively.
FXF, FXE, FXY. There are not many choices. If you sold before this nonsenses and bought FXF, you'd be up 10% right now vs those who sat tight.
Maybe try FXY for yen or FXE for euro or FXF for franc?
4 main options I can see: - gold (I don’t trust trump won’t fuck with this) - forex trusts such as FXE, FXF, FXY - unhedged international bonds like BWX - directly betting against the dollar in UDN
my whole portfolio is pretty much a hedge at this point (US equities down to 10% and defensive) but specifically PSQ, TAIL, PFIX along with FXF, FXY, FXA
GLD, Bitcoin and what else? What’s a good international market ticket? FXY for yen?
oh for sure, I have just been hedging cash positions with FXF, FXY and gold which has helped.
I’ve been considering buying FXE and FXY as currency hedges. How are you hedging against dollar devaluation?
Been thinking about buying GLD, FXF, and FXY. Even USD cash doesn’t feel quite safe at this point.
I said to the guy at my investment house “I think these guys are going to destroy the dollar”. Their response was “Bessent is incredible with a great reputation. He would not let that happen”. Regardless, I moved into FXE, FXY and FXF… it seems that people trusted this administration because of Bessent’s reputation and he’s turning out to by a typical Trump sycophant. If that’s the case he will end up destroying his reputation like all the rest and destroy the US economy along the way…
I wasn't suggesting just saying where they can be found. If you want to bet against the dollar and you haven't traded currency or futures before check these ETF's. You can make the same hedges bets in a much safer way vs trying to figure out futures, currency, and options at the same time. FXY, YCL, YCS, FXE, EUO, ULE, FXF, UDN, USDU, UUP
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
FXF and FXY etfs will help you to compensate for USD devaluation.
The FXF and FXY etfs are good. Plus you dont keep too much money with your bank in case the bank folds as well.
FXF and FXY etfs my friend.
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
I moved a good portion of my money to foreign currency ETFS like FXF, FXE, and FXY. Also put some in gold and shorting the Dollar via UDN.
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.
