What does a strong US dollar mean for your investments?

How does the strong US dollar impact retail investors? As the US dollar remains near a two-year high, our CEO, Tony H., shared his perspective with The National News Deepthi Nair on what this means for investors globally and in the GCC.

Tony highlighted that while a strong dollar boosts purchasing power for those investing in international markets, it can also reduce returns on investments in weaker currencies. For GCC investors, where currencies are often pegged to the dollar, this can mean greater stability and opportunities in sectors benefiting from US economic growth, such as technology and pharmaceuticals.

His thoughts? Take a strategic approach. Diversify into assets like commodities or equities in stronger currencies to mitigate risks and maximize growth opportunities.
