DXY Dollar Index
DXY Dollar Index, 1973 = 100, Updates Daily
The DXY Dollar Index measures the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies. It is a weighted geometric mean of the dollar's value relative to the following currencies: EUR (57.6%), JPY (13.6%), GBP (11.9%), CAD (9.1%), SEK (4.2%), CHF (3.6%). The index is widely followed by traders and media as an indicator of the dollar’s strength, but is no longer representative of the dollar’s value in trade-weighted terms - China, Mexico, South Korea, and Brazil have superseded Sweden and Switzerland as important trading partners.
