The Dollar Index Is Lying to You — Here’s What Really Matters.

Is the U.S. dollar really as strong as the Dollar Index suggests?

In this video, I explain why the Dollar Index (DXY) has become an increasingly misleading measure of the dollar’s true purchasing power and global strength. The index is overwhelmingly weighted toward the euro, Japanese yen and British pound, while completely ignoring major currencies such as the Chinese yuan.

I look at how the global economy has changed since 2008, the dollar’s performance against the yuan, and why gold continues to tell a very different story from the DXY.

I also take a look at the latest action in gold, silver, Treasury yields, crude oil and the growing pressures in the bond market.
