I think the short answer here is probably "no." Back before the euro, US expats here in France used to have to ride out the ups and downs of the dollar against the franc. And, when I lived in the UK, nearly 20 years ago, the dollar was approaching $2 to the pound, just like now.

Sure, there are reasons for the currency movements. But you can't always sue someone when "stuff" happens. Sometimes you just have to take your lumps and get on with life.
