obvious. When the Dollar index Rises, Other Currencies
including the PKR falls relative to the USD. On the other
hand, when the Dollar Index falls the PKR appreciate
w.r.t the USD.

and impacting international trade. Traders and policymakers use the USDX as a tool
to assess the dollar's overall strength in the context of the global economy. It serves as
a valuable indicator for economic trends and influences investment decisions
worldwide.
Working Of Dollar Index:

5. USDX Effect on Poor and Wealthier Nations
• The U.S. Dollar Index's impact on currencies varies for rich and poor nations. A stronger USD,
reflected in the index, often leads to weaker currencies in less affluent countries, increasing
their import costs and debt burdens.
• Conversely, stronger currencies in wealthier nations may result in lower import prices and
economic advantages. The index, therefore, influences global wealth distribution by affecting
exchange rates, potentially exacerbating economic disparities between rich and poor nations.
