Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $27.79 per Share to $28.41 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and related change from the Share price on March 31, 2026 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $27.30 per Share (-1.76%) on April 15, 2026 and a high of $28.53 per Share (+2.66%) on June 24, 2026. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +2.23%.

Current report

The U.S. dollar strengthened during the second quarter of 2026 leading to gains for the Fund, as rising inflation concerns tied to higher energy prices led markets to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. As the U.S.-Iran conflict raised concerns that energy-driven inflation could become more persistent, some market participants even began discussing the possibility of rate hikes, supporting U.S. yields and the dollar. The shift in policy expectations pressured several major currencies, including the euro, which faced headwinds from soft economic growth and a more accommodative European Central Bank, and the Japanese yen, which remained weighed down by the Bank of Japan's gradual approach to policy normalization. Sterling also weakened against the dollar as investors favored U.S. assets amid elevated global uncertainty. Overall, widening interest rate differentials and continued demand for dollar liquidity supported gains in the U.S. dollar during the quarter.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share decreased from $28.55 per Share to $26.88 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and related change from the Share price on March 31, 2025 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $26.88 per Share (-5.85%) on June 30, 2025 and a high of $28.58 per Share (+0.11%) on April 01, 2025. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was -5.85%.

Current report

The U.S. dollar remained under pressure in the second quarter of 2025, extending its first quarter weakness, leading to losses for the Fund. While the initial tariff driven rally in late 2024 was predicated on relative U.S. strength versus trading partners, the narrative has since reversed. The tariffs announced on Liberation Day in April undermined U.S. consumer and business confidence, fueling domestic growth concerns and de-dollarization trades. The 90-day tariff truce with China temporarily eased trade tensions in mid-May but continued uncertainty weighed on gains. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve maintained its dovish stance, with markets still pricing in 50 basis points of interest rate cuts for the year, further eroding yield support for the greenback. In contrast, the euro found support from resilient economic data and fiscal stimulus tied to defense and infrastructure, while the yen benefited from the Bank of Japan’s continued tightening bias. With global policy divergence widening and confidence in U.S. fiscal discipline faltering, the U.S. dollar’s outlook remained clouded heading into the second half of the year.

Current report

Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $4.2 million, primarily resulting from $3.6 million of income, net realized gain (loss) of $(0.9) million, net change in unrealized gain (loss) of $2.2 million and net operating expenses of $0.7 million.

Current report

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

Current report

The U.S. dollar strengthened in the first half of 2026, supported by its role as a global safe-haven asset amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty and shifting monetary policy expectations. This led to gains for the Fund. Escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and broader market volatility increased demand for dollar-denominated assets during the first half of the year. Rising energy prices also fueled inflation concerns, prompting markets to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, with some investors even discussing the possibility of rate hikes. The resulting increase in U.S. yields supported the dollar against most major currencies, particularly the euro and Japanese yen. The euro faced headwinds from weak economic growth and a relatively accommodative European Central Bank, while the yen remained pressured by the Bank of Japan's gradual approach to policy normalization. Despite periods of volatility tied to ceasefire negotiations and changing geopolitical developments, safe-haven demand and widening interest rate differentials helped support the U.S. dollar during the first half of 2026.

Current report

The U.S. dollar declined sharply in the first half of 2025, resulting in negative performance for the Fund. This marks a sharp reversal from the strong rally that closed out 2024, when President Trump’s tariff policy was expected to disproportionately impact trading partners’ currencies and support the greenback. However, those same policies have since undermined U.S. investor and business confidence, with stagflation and domestic growth concerns becoming top of mind. This, coupled with geopolitical instability in the second quarter, pushed investors further away from the U.S. dollar and towards safe havens like the Swiss franc and Japanese yen. The euro was also buoyed by defense and infrastructure stimulus, and the Japanese yen strengthened on expected Bank of Japan rate hikes, which added pressure to the U.S. dollar. Finally, the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance, maintaining 50 basis points of expected interest rate cuts, also eroded yield support for the U.S. dollar.

Current report

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the NAV of each Share increased from $27.07 per Share to $28.41 per Share. Rising currency futures contract prices for long DX Contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2026, contributed to a 3.49% increase in the level of the Index and to a 5.39% increase in the level of the Long Index-TRTM. The total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was +4.95%.

Current report

Net income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $13.0 million, primarily resulting from $6.2 million of income, net realized gain (loss) of $2.0 million, net change in unrealized gain (loss) of $6.0 million and net operating expenses of $1.2 million.

Current report

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the NAV of each Share decreased from $29.42 per Share to $26.88 per Share.

The total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was -8.63%.

Current report

NEITHER THE PAST PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND NOR THE PRIOR INDEX LEVELS AND CHANGES, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, SHOULD BE TAKEN AS AN INDICATION OF THE FUND’S FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

Previous report

The U.S. dollar strengthened modestly in the first quarter of 2026, resulting in positive performance for the Fund. Heightened geopolitical uncertainty stemming from escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, including the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, raised concerns around energy supply disruptions and renewed inflationary pressures. These risks contributed to fears of energy shocks, food price inflation, and broader ripple effects across the global economy, prompting markets to push out expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Demand for the U.S. dollar was supported by safe‑haven flows, defensive positioning, and a preference for liquidity amid uncertain global growth and financial conditions. While intermittent improvements in risk sentiment led to brief pullbacks, risk-off dynamics ultimately supported the U.S. dollar over the quarter.

Previous report

The U.S. dollar moved lower in the first quarter of 2025 leading to losses for the Fund. This marked a sharp reversal from the strong rally to end 2024, when the incoming U.S. administration's tariff policy was expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the currency of the United States' trading partners, in turn boosting the U.S. dollar. Inflation predictions also led the markets to reevaluate the Federal Reserve’s easing plans, with the potential to leave rates higher for longer. However, those factors are now hurting the U.S. dollar; tariffs and stagflation fears have upended market confidence in the U.S., while the Federal Reserve may still reduce interest rates by 0.50% in 2025 (lower interest rates reduce demand for the U.S. dollar). In contrast, the euro and other European currencies are being propped up by major defense and infrastructure spending plans, and the outlook looks brighter for the Japanese yen, with the Bank of Japan in a rate hiking cycle as the rest of the world’s major economies pulled back.

Previous report
