My UK focused share portfolio is testing all time highs. FTSE100 up around 6% year to date, S&P500 down a similar amount, but yes currencies play for global investors.

Currency could potentially be a double edged sword. If there's a significant flight of capital out of US $ assets. Often gets overlooked how UK investors returns were boosted by the fluctuations in the exchange rate post 2007.
