Evidence suggests that a strong (weak) euro relative to the U.S. dollar is contemporaneously good (bad) for most asset classes, but not for U.S . government bonds. Euro valuation changes are not convincingly predictive of asset class returns. - Evaluating Country Investment Risk
Investors have variety of methods to assess investment risk by country from different perspectives, but each method has shortcomings. - Asset Class ETF Interactions with the Yen
