Cash In On The Crashing Dollar: 5 Stocks And ETFs Ready To Soar From The Greenback's Downfall
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The U.S. dollar index (DXY), tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (UUP), has dropped below the key 100 mark due to softer-than-expected consumer and producer inflation. This has led to a decrease in bets of more than one rate hike by the Federal Reserve this year. The dollar's value has dropped 4% since the beginning of the year and 13% from its all-time high in September 2022. This could benefit U.S. exporters, multinational corporations, and emerging markets, but could also lead to inflationary pressures and decreased purchasing power. Five stocks and ETFs that could benefit from a weaker dollar include Procter & Gamble (PG), McDonald’s (MCD), Caterpillar (CAT), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Newmont Corporation (NEM), Pacer US Export Leaders ETF (PEXL), iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Market Bond ETF (EMB), VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), and Invesco CurrecyShares Euro Currency Trust (FXE).
