Brazil is one of the few countries whose currency has outperformed the US dollar in calendar

2022.

Certainly the largest convertible currency to have done so the real is done quite well and

it really has to do with the fact that Brazil is selling stuff that people need.

I'm Chris Hill and that's Bill Mann, senior analyst and lead advisor for the monthly

fool's global partner service.

I hope your passport is up to date because today we're hitting four different economies

outside of the US.

Ricky Mulvey caught up with Bill to talk about the challenges of investing in China, countries

with some opportunities for investors, and what's going on with Britain's pension crisis

and if it's a big deal for the rest of the world.

Some quick note, Ricky and Bill recorded this conversation before Liz Truss resigned

as Britain's prime minister.

There's a strong dollar and that's going to be a big theme.

I feel like that's going to be the big theme of this earning season.

Macro currency headwinds if you will.

Yeah, it feels awesome to us in America, doesn't it?

It should.

It's fun if you're trying to plan maybe a trip to Europe or abroad, but when you hear

that this theme of currency headwinds, how seriously are you taking that from the companies

you follow and is it something that investors should really be concerned about?

Yes and no.
