There were no changes to the suite of DWS models this week, so we’ll look at the Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF (DBJP). While most of 2025 has experienced a weakening US Dollar that puts currency-hedged ETFs like DBJP at a disadvantage, the USD has found a footing over the last few weeks. As a result, DBJP was finally able to break out of its year-long range to mark a new all-time high. With a 5.33 fund score and weekly overbought/oversold reading of 33%, DBJP is a prime candidate for those looking for international exposure. DBJP also offers a yield of 3.34%, so it could double as a growth and income play depending on client goals.

The table below is a review of important technical data on a select group of DWS Xtrackers ETFs. Significant changes within the past week are highlighted in Green if positive or Red if negative. This portfolio is designed to be used as a "radar" screen to bring your attention to potentially important technical changes that may require your attention and potential action. When evaluating the Fund Score, the strongest issues have scores of 4 or higher while those ETFs with scores below a 3 are no longer considered solid citizens.

The ETFs with the most relative strength buy signals (suggesting outperformance) versus the others in the group are listed at the top. These ETFs should be overweighted in the portfolio. Those ETFs with the least amount of relative strength buy signals versus the others in the group are listed at the bottom. These ETFs should be underweighted in the portfolio.
