We have already highlighted lists of commodity and dividend ETFs, and today we highlight ETFs that track various currencies. These are great for individuals who want to add currency exposure into their portfolios. Some of the more interesting ones are UDN, UUP and DBV. UDN is designed to replicate being short the US Dollar against the Euro, Yen, Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc. UUP replicates being long the US Dollar. DBV tracks the Deutsche Bank G10 Currency Future Harvest Index which goes long currency futures with high yielding interest rates and goes short currency futures with low yielding interest rates. One piece of info that might be useful is that currency analysts are looking for a long-term fall in the Euro and rise in the Yen versus the US Dollar.
