I've heard the term 'beta currency' recently and I'm curious to know what it means. Could someone please explain to me what a beta currency is and how it differs from other types of currencies?
The beta of an investment serves as an indicator of its responsiveness to market returns.

Trend strategies, which focus on identifying and capitalizing on long-term currency movements, are another common type of currency strategy used to determine FX beta.

However, in the foreign exchange (FX) market, the appropriate benchmark for beta differs significantly.

A long-only index, which is suitable for equity markets, is not viable as a benchmark for FX beta.
