I believe most of us on this platform are Singaporeans.
The usual route of investing in US companies goessomething like this.
DDA SGD into Tiger Brokers - Currency Exchange from SGD to USD.
Now, assuming if you're dollar-cost-averaging andnot holding a large sum of USD before the Greenback rally, you would probably be affected, at least to some extend. Positive impact if your capital is in USD, negative impact if your capital is in SGD.
No, I'm not suggesting anyone to stop investing in US Stock Markets.
What I'm trying to highlight here is this:
It is always wise to plan ahead when our native currency is in our favour and vice-versa.
Granted, nobody knows when it's of best value. However, we can use history to gauge an approximate value that an individual deems fair.
Just my 2 cents worth of the impact, of $DXY rally.
P.S. 1.38 USD = 1 SGD (approximately)
