How Can You Profit from the Strong US Dollar?
The US dollar has climbed 26% against the Euro and 44% again the Yen in the last five years. How can you profit from the strong US dollar? USA Today writes about how to cash in on the strong US dollar.
Investors might be tempted to make bold moves to double-down on the dollar’s strength. But currency and stock experts caution individual investors from trying to time the infamously wild currency market, which can confound even the pros. “Currencies have the habit of over and under shooting,” says Amo Sahota, chief currency strategist at Klarity FX. “We’re being pulled in all sorts of directions.”
Instead, if the dollar stays strong or even strengthens as many expect, investors are wise to consider the importance of the currency when looking at their money decisions.
Oil is priced in US dollars so a strong US dollar tends to depress oil prices even further than supply and demand factors already have. Multinational companies make less money offshore because their profits are in weakened foreign currencies. But it can be a great time to buy. Here we are not just talking about a European, Japanese or Canadian vacation but buying property or investing in income producing businesses offshore.

Guard.
