The broad dollar index and every major pair — euro, yen, pound, yuan, loonie and more — with day-to-year moves and full-history charts. The dollar is a global price: when it strengthens, US imports cheapen (disinflation here) while dollar-priced commodities squeeze everyone else.
For US inflation, the dollar works with a lag through import prices — a sustained 10% move shows up in goods CPI over the following year. The pipeline page places import prices in that chain; this page tracks the currency driving them.
The exchange rate of the dollar against 13 major currencies and the dollar index, end-of-day history to 2015 with same-day quotes layered on top. Pairs are quoted the way the market quotes them: EUR/USD is dollars per euro (up means a stronger euro), USD/JPY is yen per dollar (up means a stronger dollar). The US Dollar Index (DXY, a trade-weighted basket dominated by the euro) is 101.78 as of October 18, 2026, 0.00% on the day, +3.6% year to date and +3.4% on the year. The Fed's broad dollar index, which weights every trading partner including China and Mexico, was 121.6 on October 9, 2026 (+0.4% year over year).

Read in one direction — the dollar's change against each currency over the past year — the dollar is strongest against the Japanese Yen (+4.9%), the Swiss Franc (+3.9%), the Euro (+3.5%) and weakest against the Australian Dollar (-7.1%), the Chinese Yuan (-6.2%), the Mexican Peso (+0.7%).
A stronger dollar makes imports cheaper in dollar terms and dollar-priced commodities dearer for everyone else; a weaker dollar does the reverse. The channel into the CPI is import prices: a sustained 10% move in the broad dollar has historically shown up as a fraction of that in goods prices over the following year, because importers, retailers and foreign exporters absorb part of it in margins. The BLS import price index — the first place the effect appears — was 152.2 in September 2026, +8.1% year over year. The pipeline page places that index between futures and the shelf; the fiscal page pairs it with tariffs, the other border tax. Goods are the part of the Gauge (3.45%) most exposed to the exchange rate; services, including shelter, barely are.
USD/JPY is the pair most tied to interest-rate differentials, since Japan's policy rate is the lowest of the majors; EUR/USD dominates the dollar index; USD/CNY is managed within a band by the People's Bank of China and moves in steps; USD/MXN and USD/CAD carry the trade-and-tariff channel with the two largest US trading partners; AUD and NZD move with commodity prices and Chinese demand. The dollar index rises in global risk-off episodes regardless of US fundamentals, which is why a strong dollar can coincide with a weakening US economy.
