Impact of Exchange Rate Fluctuations and Interest Rate Changes on the ETF Market
The rise in the USD/KRW exchange rate is drawing increased interest from investors towards dollar-denominated bond ETFs. The potential for continued strong dollar trends is supported by the moderated pace of U.S. interest rate cuts and uncertainties in domestic politics. As a strategy, investing in currency-exposed ETFs is being suggested.
In contrast, the possibility of delayed interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve has led to a decline in domestic and international REITs ETFs. The recent decline in major REITs ETFs such as the 'TIGER MSCI US REITs' and 'PLUS K REITs' reflects this trend. Experts suggest that investors need to realign their expectations of return, focusing instead on residential and healthcare REITs.
In the Japanese stock market, there is a growing trend of investors aiming for the appreciation of the yen, and consequently, an increase in investments in Japanese-listed ETFs. Notably, the 'Nikko Listed US Equity (NASDAQ-100) Yen Hedge' ETF has become a popular choice, targeting additional gains from the rising JPY/KRW exchange rate.
