FXOpen, a global leader in online trading solutions, has officially introduced the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) as a tradable asset across all its platforms, including MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), TickTrader, and TradingView. This strategic addition empowers traders to engage directly with the value of the U.S. dollar through one of the most recognized benchmarks in global finance.
What Is the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)?
The DXY measures the performance of the U.S. dollar against a basket of six major world currencies: the euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY), British pound (GBP), Canadian dollar (CAD), Swedish krona (SEK), and Swiss franc (CHF). Widely regarded as a key barometer of USD strength, the index provides real-time insights into market sentiment, especially during periods of shifting interest rates, inflation data, and central bank announcements—particularly from the Federal Reserve.
