Currency ETF list

There are currency ETF shares available for trading. These ETFs copy the foreign exchange rate of specified currency to USD (US Dollar).That means that it is easy to trade some currency by online stock trading using ETF shares.

These ETFs could also serve as instrument for hedging investments in different currency then USD.

FXA CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust
FXB CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust
FXC CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust
FXE CurrencyShares Euro Trust
FXY CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust
FXM CurrencyShares Mexican Peso Trust
FXS CurrencyShares Swedish Krona Trust
FXF CurrencyShares Swiss Franc Trust

The ETFs also provide a yield based on overnight interest rates in the country of the currency it holds. This income can be used to offset fees.

For example, the interest rate for the Australian Dollar ETF is 5.95%, and 0.24% for the Japanese Yen ETF. The ETFs' yield can vary over time based on interest-rate movements.

Important note:
These ETFs have one disadvantage to classic foreign exchange markets (FOREX) trading . They can be traded only during US stock market trading hours. But Forex is 24 hours market.

Therefore I prefer to use them only for longer time frame trades, like position trades.
