What is the DXY Dollar Index?

The DXY (US Dollar Index) measures the dollar's value against a basket of 6 major currencies: Euro (57.6% weight), Japanese Yen (13.6%), British Pound (11.9%), Canadian Dollar (9.1%), Swedish Krona (4.2%), and Swiss Franc (3.6%). A rising DXY means the dollar is strengthening against these currencies.

How does a strong dollar affect stocks?

A rising DXY hurts US multinational companies because overseas revenues convert to fewer dollars when repatriated. It also pressures commodity prices (oil, gold, metals are priced in dollars) and weighs on emerging market assets. Export-heavy sectors like Technology and Healthcare see the most direct earnings impact.

What does a falling DXY mean for markets?

A weakening dollar is generally positive for US multinationals, commodities, and emerging markets. Gold typically rises when the dollar falls. Energy and materials stocks often outperform during periods of dollar weakness.

What is a strong vs weak DXY level?

The DXY has traded in a rough range of 89–115 over the past decade. Above 105 is considered historically strong dollar territory; below 92 is weak. Major Fed policy shifts, US inflation data, and geopolitical events are the primary DXY movers.
