Is Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (UUP) a Strong ETF Right Now?

Time to Buy the Dip in Gold ETFs?

The gold bullion ETF GLD lost about 5% last week. Is this a time to buy the dip in the metal?

Gold ETFs Suffer a Rout Over Past Two Days: Buy the Dip

Gold's biggest drop in years on Oct. 22, 2025 may be a buying chance as Fed rate cuts and higher central bank demand should keep it charged up. Play the likely gold rebound via ETFs like GLD, IAU & IAUM.



Dollar ETFs Are Gaining: Here's Why 

Dollar hovers around a two-month high amid global turmoil. USD plays like UUP gain attention despite U.S. shutdown & Fed rate cuts. 

The U.S. dollar has weathered the government shutdown relatively well and has been broadly rising, with the greenback now rising for three consecutive sessions. In the Asian session, the currency rose 0.33% to 98.91, a level not seen since Aug.11, although it is still down 9% for the year-to-date period.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), an index that measures the value of the greenback against a basket of six currencies belonging to the country’s major trading partners, was up 0.33% to $98.91 early Wednesday. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UUP">Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP)</a> rose 0.43% in overnight trading, according to Yahoo Finance.The U.S. currency’s revival could be attributed to the decline in rate-cut chatter, as government data releases have been&nbsp;delayed, and some Federal Reserve speakers who made public appearances recently issued hawkish comments. Kansas City Fed’s Jeff Schmid emphasized on Monday the need to remain vigilant about inflation that has remained sticky. His views were echoed by Minneapolis Fed’s Neel Kashkari, who said any drastic rate cuts would stoke inflation.&nbsp;The greenback also received support from geopolitical developments that weighed down on some of its major counterparts. The Japanese yen has depreciated by approximately 3.5% against the dollar this week following the announcement that pro-stimulus leader Sanae Takaichi will be the new leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). While the Japanese stock market welcomed the election, the yen weakened to its lowest since February on concerns about fiscal extravagance.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the political impasse in France, following the resignation of Sébastien Lecornu after serving in office for less than a month, has hurt the euro, the common currency of the 27-nation EU bloc. Lecornu’s resignation was precipitated by his inability to push through austerity measures in parliament. French President Emmanuel Macron is now left with the responsibility of choosing another Prime Minister or dissolving parliament and holding new elections. On a positive note, Lecornu has reportedly accepted a request from Macron to work on a plan for the “stability of the country.”The political instability in Europe’s second-largest economy has sparked concerns about a broader eurozone-wide debt crisis. From a mid-September high of 1.1919 against the dollar, the euro has lost about 2.5% and currently trades around the 1.16 levels.The dollar's strength has come despite a rise in gold to a record high. FolioBeyond analyst Dean Smith said the gold breaching the $4,000 barrier meant that investors are no longer sure if they are willing to tie their "prosperity and economic future so closely with" U.S. dollar assets, according to a Bitget&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bitget.com/amp/news/detail/12560605004350">report.</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nasdaq-s-and-p-500-futures-tick-higher-after-7-day-rally-snaps/ch6E5W0R3Lc">Nasdaq, S&amp;P 500 Futures Tick Higher After 7-Day Rally Snaps — Traders Eye Fed Signals As Shutdown Uncertainty Lingers</a>

Time for Emerging Markets ETFs?

Emerging markets are surging on a weak dollar, Fed cuts & AI-fueled Chinese tech rally. ETFs like EEM & CQQQ are outpacing the S&P 500 in 2025.

Silver ETFs Hover Around a 52-Week High: Here's Why 

Silver bullion ETF SLV increased 15.7% in a month, outpacing GLD. Weak dollar, solar & EV boom, and safe-haven demand keep ETFs like SLV, SIL, SILJ, SIVR near one-year highs.

The&nbsp; U.S. dollar is seen extending its gains early Thursday as the relief rally set off by the Federal Reserve’s decision to take the interest rate down by a quarter-point for the first time this year continues to play out.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which ended Wednesday’s session up about 0.25% at 96.87 after the Fed decision, has tacked on more gains in the overnight session. At last check, the DXY was up 0.34% at $97.20, which, however, marks a 10.4% drop for the year-to-date (YTD) period.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UUP">Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of the Deutsche Bank Long US Dollar Index (USDX) Futures Index, has lost 7.5% this year. In comparison,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an ETF tracking the S&amp;P 500 Index, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> have gained 13.14% and 15.71%, respectively, for the year.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the UUP ETF worsened to ‘bearish’ (40/100) from ‘neutral’ a day ago. The message volume on the stream was at ‘low’ levels.The U.S. dollar had fallen to a four-year low against the euro before the Fed decision.Wells Fargo Emerging Market Strategist Brendon McKenna said the pullback in Asian currencies against the dollar on Thursday is due to the Fed and Chair Powell remaining non-committal to additional rate cuts, according to a Bloomberg <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-17/dollar-boost-from-fed-to-weigh-on-asian-currencies-analysts-say">report</a>.“‘Risk management cut’ in particular, I interpreted as somewhat hawkish,” he said.The report also stated that TD Securities analysts remained cautious about the dollar's rebound. “We remain bearish on the U.S. dollar and see any technical U.S. dollar bounces as good opportunities to sell,” analysts at the firm said.&nbsp;The relatively resilient growth in the rest of the world, combined with the Fed's easing, could create an “active risk-on” environment, fueling gains in both risk- and rate-sensitive currencies, which are currently cheap — such as the Japanese yen and Australian dollar, they added.Rabobank strategist Jane Foley saw the uptick in the dollar as due to short-covering, according to a separate Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-18/dollar-rises-most-in-two-weeks-as-fed-seen-as-being-less-dovish?taid=68cbad8fcc3cde0001e305b1&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_content=business&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">report.</a> “Since a lot of Fed easing was priced in ahead of yesterday’s meeting and given the market has been short dollars for some time, the tone thus triggered a little covering of dollar shorts,” she said.Credit Agricole strategist Valentin Marinov concurred with the view. “Currency investors are squaring their dollar shorts after the Fed failed to validate the uber dovish market expectations ahead of its September policy meeting,” he said.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp; <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/goldman-sachs-sticks-to-forecast-for-4-fed-rate-cuts-after-fed-meeting/chDcVByR3G9">Goldman Sachs Sticks To Forecast For 4 Fed Rate Cuts After Powell Spooks Market With ‘Risk-Management Cut’ Comment</a>

Dollar Firms Despite Fed Rate Cut: Analyst Sees Powell’s Remarks As ‘Hawkish,’ Advises Selling Any Technical Bounce 

The relatively resilient growth in the rest of the world versus the U.S. and the Fed easing could make for an “active risk-on” environment, fueling gains in both risk and rate-sensitive currencies, which are cheap, a strategist said.

The U.S. dollar continued to trade lower in overnight trading following a two-session retreat that began with the release of the monthly U.S. jobs data on Friday.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the greenback against a basket of currencies belonging to Washington’s major trading partners, edged down 0.06% to 97.36 late Monday. The index, which traded at 98.5 ahead of the non-farm payrolls report, has lost nearly 1% since then.The overnight low of 97.32 marks the lowest level since July 23, when it dipped to an intraday trough of 97.21.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UUP">Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of the Deutsche Bank Long US Dollar Index (USDX) Futures Index, has gained over 1% since it hit a 52-week low of $26.81 on July 1.In overnight trading, the UUP ETF was unchanged, while it has lost 7.17% year-to-date (YTD) compared to the 11.37% gain for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> and the 13.53% advance by the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a>.&nbsp;In a post on X, Gold bull and economist Peter Schiff&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1965157327268708857">said</a>, “Get out of the U.S. dollar now, before it's too late. Got gold?” He based his call on a looming Fed rate cut. “Ever since Alan Greenspan rescued the stock market after the 1987 crash, the Fed has made a series of increasingly bad monetary policy mistakes,” he said.&nbsp;“But the mistake the Fed is about to make will likely be the worst yet.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the UUP ETF remained ‘bearish’ (32/100) by late Monday, but the message volume was at ‘extremely high’ levels.Last Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the economy added jobs at an anemic pace of 22,000 in August and the jobless rate climbed to the highest level since October 2021. The weak data sent rate cut bets soaring to 100%, with the CME FedWatch Tool showing that some futures traders even braced for a 50 basis point cut at the upcoming September 16-17 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.Forex traders are likely to keenly watch the BLS’ preliminary&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bls.gov/sae/notices/2025/preliminary-benchmark-announcement-2025.htm">estimate</a> for the March 2025 annual benchmark revision, which is scheduled to be announced at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday. The revision is done to the data from the Establishment Survey.The data used for the revision comes from the Quarterly Census of Employment And Wages (QCEW), which provides comprehensive employment counts based on state unemployment insurance (UI) tax records for the preceding March.Economists at Wall Street firms such as Wells Fargo, Comerica and Pantheon expect the BLS’s preliminary benchmark revision for the year through March 2024 to show a nearly 800,000 downward adjustment, a Bloomberg report&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-08/another-us-jobs-markdown-sets-stage-for-fed-cut-bls-criticism">said.</a> This translates to a roughly 67,000 downward revision per month, on average.&nbsp;Other firms, such as Nomura, BofA, and Royal Bank of Scotland, have put the numbers closer to one million.&nbsp;Last year, the BLS reduced the previously reported job additions for the 12-month period that ended March 2024 by 818,000. President Donald Trump&nbsp;cited this as one of the reasons for firing former BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-says-biden-appointed-labor-statistics-chief-fired-over-biggest-miscalculation-in-50-years/chrX5R6RdRa">accusing</a> her of inflating the numbers to make the previous Biden administration’s economic performance appear more favorable.Another sharp downward revision would question the strength seen in the first four months of the year, when the economy added an average of 127,000 jobs. It was only since May that the number has looked bad, averaging 27,000 per month.Confirmation of a weak labor market is seen as the trigger that&nbsp;could prompt the Federal Reserve, under Jerome Powell, to announce its first rate cut this year. Morgan Stanley, which has a more conservative estimate for the annual revision (50,000 per month), said in a note released Friday that “It will be hard for markets or the Fed to ignore this signal in light of a moderating economy.”A Fed rate cut would weigh down on the dollar, given that it would decrease the appeal of investing in the U.S. and, in turn, reduce the demand for the dollar,&nbsp;which also faces pressure from lower bond yields. Lower growth and the Fed’s willingness to tolerate above-target inflation could push yields further lower, posing headwinds to the dollar.Morgan Stanley&nbsp;analyst James Lord reportedly said in a note on Friday that the firm wasn’t convinced the dollar weakness has run its course. “On the contrary, we think its decline is barely halfway through,” he added.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/rupert-murdoch-ends-succession-drama-as-lachlan-emerges-sole-heir-to-media-throne/chw0pocRdrx">Rupert Murdoch Ends Succession Drama As Lachlan Emerges Sole Heir To Media Throne: All Eyes On News Corp, Fox Stocks</a>
