US Dollar Index (Broad)
The Federal Reserve's nominal broad US dollar index measures the dollar's value against a trade-weighted basket of the currencies of US trading partners (Jan 2006 = 100). It is broader and more representative than the popular ICE "DXY," which is dominated by the euro and yen.
Latest reading
As of July 31, 2026, Dollar Index (Broad dollar index) stands at 119.70 — up from 119.68 the prior reading. The dollar is a master variable for global markets. A stronger dollar tightens global financial conditions, pressures commodities and emerging markets, and shrinks the foreign earnings of US multinationals (~40% of S&P 500 revenue). A weakening dollar is a tailwind for risk assets, commodities, and reflation. Sharp, fast moves matter more than the level — a rapidly rising dollar is a classic stress signal. Series history runs from 2006 to present.
