U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) Indicator
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) measures the value of the U.S. dollar relative to a basket of six major world currencies: the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc. It is widely used by traders and analysts to gauge the strength of the dollar in global markets, providing insights into economic trends, monetary policy impacts, and international trade dynamics. When the DXY rises, it generally indicates a strengthening dollar, which can impact commodities, equities, and emerging markets, while a falling index suggests a weakening dollar.
