🌏 Navigating the Hormuz Crisis: Why I’m Bullish on the AUD As we monitor the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, many investors are panicking about the "De-dollarization" headlines and Iran’s move toward the Chinese Yuan. Here is my take as an Australian-based strategist: 1️⃣ Commodity Protection: While the conflict pushes oil toward $120/bbl, Australia’s economy (and the AUD) acts as a natural hedge. We are seeing the AUD/USD hold strong near 0.71, supported by a hawkish RBA. 2️⃣ Portfolio Stability: My exposure to Gold (GLDM) and Quality Growth (SPYG/VOO) is designed exactly for these moments. We aren't just "holding"; we are positioned to benefit from the shift in global trade flows. 3️⃣ The "Smart Money" Move: My Latin followers often ask about USD volatility. By diversifying into IDEV (International Markets) and Gold, we reduce our reliance on any single currency. 🛡️ Risk Management: My priority remains keeping our Risk Score low during this geopolitical spike. Steady compounding wins the race. New copiers: I recommend a minimum of $500 to ensure all 19+ positions open proportionally. Next rebalance: April 14th. #AUDUSD #StraitOfHormuz #PopularInvestor #Investing2026 # 🌏 @lplata $GLDM (SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust) $TM (Toyota Motor Corporation-ADR) $NVO (Novo-Nordisk A/S SPONS ADR) $GOOGL (Alphabet Inc Class A) $IDEV (iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF) Disclaimer: Past performance does not guarantee future results.
