TSP 101
The I Fund holds stocks priced in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. When the dollar strengthens against those currencies, I Fund returns in dollar terms tend to go down, and when the dollar weakens, those returns tend to go up, even if the underlying foreign stocks haven't changed much in local-currency terms.
