US Dollar Index

Definition

The US Dollar Index is a weighted geometric average that measures the strength of the United States dollar against a collection of six prominent international currencies. These constituent currencies include the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona, and Swiss Franc. The index serves as a benchmark for the dollar’s global standing and is a significant tool for assessing its performance in foreign exchange markets. Its movements indicate shifts in the dollar’s relative value.
