Some investors own international bond ETFs that are priced in US dollars. If the US dollar rises against other currencies, the price of such a bond ETF will show an exaggerated loss. For an American investor, that loss could be real. After all, if they plan to retire in the United States, they'll pay future bills in US dollars. As such, if they buy an international bond market index, they would be taking a currency risk. But for a non‐American investor, that loss isn't real. Always remember that the listed currency of an ETF is irrelevant. [2018] - Andrew Hallam
