Published: November 13, 2018
This content is for informational purposes only. This should not be construed as solicitation. The general public should consult their financial advisor for additional information related to investment decisions.
The DWA Monthly Currency Hedge Ratings are designed to provide you with an objective confidence rating for the major currency pairs. The ratings are based upon 3-12 month price momentum inputs, using monthly cross-rate data, and ratings range from 0-4. For currencies weakening and experiencing negative momentum relative to the US Dollar, the hedge rating will be high. For currencies strengthening and experiencing positive momentum relative to the US Dollar, the hedge rating will be low. The hedge percentage (Hedge %) can range from 0 - 100%. For currencies with a high hedge rating, a larger currency hedge exposure is indicated. The Hedge % uses a sliding scale in increments of 25%. For example, a currency with a Hedge Rating of 3 has a suggested Hedge % of 75%.
