The article says the dollar index is near an 18-month high, but much of its rise since August reflects the euro’s decline. The euro’s 5% fall accounts for about 2.7 percentage points of the index’s 3.4-point gain, in part because the euro carries a 57.6% weight in the index.
The index’s heavy euro weighting means its strength may overstate broad-based dollar gains. A stronger dollar can weigh on dollar-priced commodity affordability, but this analysis does not identify a new feed supply or demand change.
