Good to consider FX risk especially when investing in foreign assets.

US stocks is an exception compared to the other foreign assets.

If you look at the DXY index, it is relatively sideways for decades. That means, USD can go up and go down within years. There is no clear down or uptrend in the longer term.

Regardless, US stocks are likely to outperform in SGD terms base on historical records.
