Normally the markets are forward looking and price in things like that
But if you are confident in this assessment are you going to trade it? Saying stuff is easy, actually doing stuff is hard.
the market is forward looking, but it's not like the market wasn't told/expecting a rate hike since last year and see how it is now.
60% of my networth have been in USD for the past 5 years or so (stocks and cash), quite a far bit in BTC and only 10% in my local currency.
Working out well for me so far.

Ownership of productive businesses isn't money in USD. Indeed, companies are often leveraged which is literally being shot USD.

I have to get USD to trade in US stocks, including when I sell the stocks. They handle the FX risk on their business end.

The way your brokerage denominates does not affect the exposure of your positions - it affects your taxes at most.

I don't think you understand what I am saying. It isn't how the broker denominate my position.
You have to get USD to buy US exchange listed stocks, and when you sell, you get the USD. These aren't denominations, these are actual currencies swapped. i.e. I have to exchange into USD before deposit/through the broker.
This is also why IB is a great broker since they have incredible FX rates.

Why do you hold it though? Immediately exchange it!

Hold what? I am not sure what you are trying to say here lol
