The US Dollar Index is an indicator of the value of the US dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies. The current basket consists of the Euro (57.6%), Japanese Yen (13.6%), Pound Sterling (11.9%), Canadian Dollar (9.1%), Swedish Krona (4.2%), and Swiss Franc (3.6%).

The record high is 164.72 which occurred in February 1985. The record low of 71.33 was achieved in April 2008. This is a good indicator to understand the weakness of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies.
