US Dollar ETF

There are currently two currency ETFs that trade on US exchanges that give you explicit exposure to go long or short the US dollar against a basket of currencies. While it is true that you can get long US dollar exposure by selling short any of the single currency ETFs listed on this website and can go short by buying any of those same single currency ETFs, Powershares offers The PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (NYSEArca: UUP) and The PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish (NYSEArca: UDN) to go long, or short, against a basket of currencies made up of the the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc. The ETFs gain their currency exposures through positions in long or short Currency Futures contracts.
