USD Index
On November 17, in the US market, the USD Index (DXY) measuring the fluctuations of the greenback against 6 major currencies reached 99.30 points.
In the week of November 10-14, 2025, the USD continued to depreciate in the international market after US President Donald Trump signed a bill to reopen the federal government, ending a 43-day closure - the longest streak in US history.
The greenback continues to weaken as federal operations resume after a prolonged period of paralysis, leaving more than 1 million employees unpaid and many public services disrupted, including aviation and food subsidies.
The huge data gap during the government's closure has also made the US Federal Reserve (Fed) cautious about continuing to loosen monetary policy.
However, compared to the same period 5 years ago, the USD is still witnessing a convincing increase when increasing by 6.85 USD.
