The Dollar

The Dollar had a tough 2025 but is green to start 2026 so far.

The Scoreboard

The US is only beating 12 countries and 32 countries are up by more than 20% YTD.

So far in 2026 - the US is only beating 10 countries (trailing 35). My problem is that I own 4 of them at present, so I need them to wake up!
