In line with my view of the dollar remains strong in the near term, one of the trading strategies that I have suggested hedging an EMFX portfolio with the euro.
I show that the hedge has performed well by breaking down and comparing the return of the hedged portfolio with the unhedged version.
For me to recommend taking off the euro hedge, we would need to see the volatility of US rates and the probability of recession falling.

As the US dollar approaches its highest level in a decade in line with my expectation, I reiterate my view of the dollar remaining strong in the near term.
