What do the lines of this page measure?
The Federal Reserve Board (the Board) publishes three nominal dollar indexes in its H.10 release: the broad index, the advanced economies index and the emerging markets index. Each measures the value of the US dollar against a group of foreign currencies, weighted by trade, with its level in January 2006 set to 100. The Board publishes the daily values weekly and the monthly averages in its G.5 release.

What this number cannot tell you
- The indexes are the Board's own measures. They are not prices from an exchange, and they are not the indexes that exchanges and data companies publish under similar names.
- A month's value is the monthly average of the daily values that the Board's G.5 release publishes. The Board prints each index to four decimal places, and this page prints it as published.
- A higher index is a higher value of the dollar against the group of currencies, in the Board's nominal measure; it does not adjust for prices.
- The changes and the ranks are ours, worked out from the values the Board publishes; a change is in percent.
