Episode notes
Dollar Drop
- The DXY experienced a significant 2% drop, a rare occurrence for the dollar index.
- This drop, while substantial, has not reached the levels of the Plaza Accord (4.3%).
Plaza Accord Context
- The Plaza Accord of 1985 involved governments actively devaluing the dollar, resulting in a 4.3% drop.
- The current drop of the DXY is substantial but less than the Plaza Accord's drop, raising questions about the cause.
Euro-Specific Move
- The DXY's drop appears to be primarily driven by changes in the dollar-euro exchange rate.
- Other currency pairs like dollar-yen and dollar-CAD haven't experienced such significant shifts.
