The Ultrashort Euro -2X ETF (EUO) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide twice the inverse daily return of the U.S. dollar price of the euro. The ETF attempts to track the price movement of the U.S. dollar against the euro. The fund uses derivatives such as futures contracts and options on futures to achieve its investment objective.
EUO is managed by ProShares, an ETF provider known for its inverse and leveraged ETFs. Investors who expect the value of the euro to decline against the U.S. dollar may use EUO as a way to profit from this view. However, the fund's returns may deviate from twice the inverse of the daily return of the underlying index due to factors such as the cost of borrowing and the effects of compounding.
As with all inverse and leveraged ETFs, it is important to note that EUO is designed for short-term trading and may not be suitable for long-term investors. These types of ETFs are also subject to additional risks and volatility due to the use of derivatives, and investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance and investment objectives before investing.
