Default Re: Almost every International Index Fund is near its 52 wk high.

What's the U.S. dollar doing? Because of currency translation, Intl. funds also go up when the dollar gets cheaper, and down when the dollar appreciates.

I guess I should have checked the charts. This this chart shows the exact opposite happening. . If the Euro is typical of intl currencies it appears intl funds are outperforming even as a strengthening dollar reduces their (currency translated) gains. I still think the dollar will continue to decline over the long term, as long as we run deficits. But these year has not supported that theory.
