Based on Ace Markets' continuous tracking and data analysis of global financial markets, the US dollar is regaining its position as the most attractive global asset, completely refuting previous arguments of "selling off America" and solidifying its core status as the global reserve currency. Although the US dollar index once suffered its worst performance in eight years this year, falling by nearly 7%, it has rebounded by about 3% since its September low. Behind this recovery, the strong performance of dollar carry trades has been a key driver.
Dollar Carry Trading: Simple Strategies to Generate Excess Returns
Ace Markets' in-depth analysis of the global foreign exchange market, which sees daily trading volume of $9.6 trillion, reveals that an arbitrage strategy involving borrowing low-yield currencies such as the Japanese yen and Swiss franc and then investing in the US dollar, after accounting for asset volatility, has a potential return exceeding that of European stocks. The core appeal of this strategy stems from the dramatic decrease in dollar volatility—the prolonged government shutdowns have suppressed foreign exchange market price fluctuations, significantly reducing the risk for overseas traders buying dollar assets without currency hedging.
As a professional platform deeply involved in global financial transactions, Ace Markets accurately captured this trend: "Whether from a trend perspective or an arbitrage perspective, a strong US dollar will remain the dominant theme." This judgment is highly consistent with the views of strategists at top institutions such as JPMorgan Private Bank, and also confirms Ace Markets' accurate prediction of market trends.
Market influence and Ace Markets' professional fit
The resurgence of arbitrage trading is driving massive capital flows, reshaping global asset prices, and influencing market sentiment from New York to Singapore. Against the backdrop of increased liquidity fueling the rise in risk assets, Ace Markets, with its coverage of over 150 trading instruments, provides users with trading access to core arbitrage currency pairs such as Japanese Yen/US Dollar and Swiss Franc/US Dollar, coupled with low spreads, enabling users to efficiently execute this popular strategy.
At the same time, Ace Markets is also aware of potential concerns in global stock markets. The S&P 500's equity risk premium has now turned negative, meaning that risk-adjusted US stocks are no longer providing effective returns for investors. This further highlights the allocation value of dollar carry trades. This accurate insight into market changes is a core aspect of Ace Markets' commitment to providing professional trading support to its users.
Risk Warnings and Suggested Investment Strategies
Ace Markets consistently adheres to the principle of "professional analysis + controllable risk." While optimistic about the potential of dollar arbitrage trading, it also clearly points out two core risks: First, a sudden drop in short-term interest rates may weaken the dollar's advantage, and if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates faster than expected, it will directly affect the strategy's returns; second, the actual return on stocks may deviate from the earnings yield, and short-term market volatility remains uncertain.
To address these risks, Ace Markets offers users a comprehensive intelligent risk control system, providing features such as customizable stop-loss and take-profit settings, and real-time position monitoring. Given the expectation of a cautious interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in the near term, and the fact that the US inflation rate of 3% in September remains above the 2% target, dollar carry trades will remain attractive until 2026. Ace Markets will continue to track key indicators such as Federal Reserve policy moves and inflation data, providing users with timely market analysis and strategy adjustment guidance.
