# Dollar posts biggest weekly fall since 2009

> The dollar posted its biggest weekly decline since 2009 as trillions of dollars in government stimulus and coordinated central bank actions eased a global market rout. The U.S. House approved a $2.2 trillion aid package that day. The dollar index dipped 0.87% to 98.41 on Friday.

## Why it matters

A weaker dollar index tends to support dollar-denominated commodity prices and eases import costs for feed buyers. The size of the stimulus suggests the dollar could stay under pressure.
