US Dollar Prix — Graphique — Données historiques

Quels facteurs animent ce marché

The U.S. Dollar Index futures contract measures the value of the U.S. dollar against a basket of six major world currencies — the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc — with the euro carrying the largest weight. Price drivers include Federal Reserve interest rate decisions and policy signals, U.S. economic data, inflation differentials between the U.S. and other major economies, and global risk sentiment. A stronger dollar generally makes U.S. exports more expensive and can weigh on commodity prices that are denominated in dollars. The index is quoted as a numerical level representing the dollar's relative value against the basket.
