As I write this...

The U.S. Dollar Index (USD) is trading at 97.39 against a basket of foreign currencies.

97.39 is the lowest price since February 2022.

USD 100 is considered neutral.

Above 100 indicates USD strength.

Below 100 indicates USD weakness.

USD was trading at 109 in January 2025.

USD is down 9% in six months, which is a fairly large drop for a major currency.

Your chart shows:

Lots of steep drops.

The present value is about the same as it was 35 years ago.
