About Nominal Broad U.S. Dollar Index

What it measures

The Nominal Broad US Dollar Index (FRED series DTWEXBGS) measures the value of the dollar against a trade-weighted basket of the currencies of major US trading partners, including both advanced and emerging market economies. The Federal Reserve Board publishes the index daily, with weights updated annually based on bilateral trade shares and indexed to January 2006 equals one hundred.

Why it matters

A single trade-weighted number summarizes the dollar better than any bilateral pair: it drives US export competitiveness, translates foreign earnings for multinationals, and tightens or eases global financial conditions given the dollar role in international debt. Dollar strength pressures emerging market borrowers and commodity prices, so macro investors treat the broad index as a core risk variable.

How to read it

A rising index means broad dollar appreciation, typically associated with US rate advantages, risk aversion, or strong relative growth; a falling index signals depreciation. Because emerging market currencies carry substantial weight, the broad index can diverge from narrower advanced-economy measures such as DXY. Compare against both to determine whether a dollar move is general or concentrated in particular regions.
