For more information on exchange rate indexes for the U.S. dollar, see "New Summary Measures
of the Foreign Exchange Value of the Dollar," Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 84 (October 1998),
pp. 811-18 (http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/bulletin/). Weights for the broad index can be
found at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/H10/Weights; weights for the major currencies
index and the other important trading partners (OITP) index are derived from the broad index
weights. The most recent annual revision to the trade weights and dollar indexes took effect
with the January 30, 2003 release of this report.
* U.S. dollars per currency unit.
1) A weighted average of the foreign exchange value of the U.S. dollar against the currencies
of a broad group of major U.S. trading partners.
2) A weighted average of the foreign exchange value of the U.S. dollar against a subset of
the broad index currencies that circulate widely outside the country of issue.
3) A weighted average of the foreign exchange value of the U.S. dollar against a subset of
the broad index currencies that do not circulate widely outside the country of issue.
The euro is reported in place of the individual euro-area currencies. These currency rates can
be derived from the dollar/euro rate by using the fixed conversion rates (in currencies per euro)
given below:
