Indicator As of Latest 1Y change vs avg History This week
US dollar strength (index) Dollar & currencies 10/23/26 101.73 ▲ +2.8% -0.5%
The dollar sits near an 18-month high, a headwind for international holdings in dollar terms.
  • The dollar index at 101.84 (Oct 16) is up 1.6% in a month on Fed repricing; it slipped late in the week as October-hike odds fell.
  • The euro at $1.12 is down 4.3% this year; no euro-specific driver surfaced this week beyond rate differentials.
  • The AI rout hit Asian currencies, adding to emerging-market weakness; global rate hikes elsewhere cap the dollar's edge from here.
