CALDEIRÃO DE BOLSA

Atomez Escreveu:O investimento no mercado accionista e no mercado cambial são duas coisas diferentes.

Se tiveres uma conta em dolares ou operares com um broker americano podes fazer os movimentos sempre em dolares e converteres para euros no momento mais oportuno. Ou então ir passar férias aos States e gastar os dolares lá.

Neste momento até é uma boa altura para investir lá porque o euro está muito valorizado face ao dolar, ao nivel de maximos historicos. Quer dizer, as acções americanas estão com um bom desconto.

Wiki Escreveu:Hedging currency risk

Currency hedging (also known as Foreign Exchange Risk hedging) is used both by financial investors to parse out the risks they encounter when investing abroad, as well as by non-financial actors in the global economy for whom multi-currency activities are a necessary evil rather than a desired state of exposure.


The financial investor may be a hedge fund that decides to invest in a company in, for example, Brazil, but does not want to necessarily invest in the Brazilian currency. The hedge fund can separate out the credit risk (i.e. the risk of the company defaulting), from the currency risk of the Brazilian Real by "hedging" out the currency risk. In effect, this means that the investment is effectively a USD investment, in Brazil. Hedging allows the investor to transfer the currency risk to someone else, who wants to take up a position in the currency. The hedge fund has to pay this other investor to take on the currency exposure, similar to insuring against other types of events.

As with other types of financial products, hedging may allow economic activity to take place that would otherwise not have been possible (as a loan, for example, may allow an individual to purchase a home that would be "too expensive" if the individual had to pay cash). The increased investment is assumed in this way to raise economic efficiency.

Ora se o USD sobe quando os mercados descem de que vale a um Europeu ter acções no longo prazo no mercado americano
