In terms of the DXY "US Dollar Index"

The BRL or CNY is probably one of the most apt comparison given the BRICKS alliance. That's where you are seeing the roughly 10% swing since Jan. (if you go back to last Oct the swing is less pronounced. IDK exactly what was happening last Oct, but there appears to have been an upswing in dollar value from Oct to Jan and a steady decrease of the dollar value since.)

Reply, since I cant edit: even the commentators agrees it's looking increasingly necessary to weaken the euro: https://archive.is/biCxs

> The EUR (if that is what you are going by) is unusually strong

By what standards? It’s slightly above the trend (i.e. continuous decline since 2008 with an occasional up and down here and the) but not that substantially

EUR was unusually strong from 2004 to 2015. Since then, it has almost always been between $1.07 and $1.20, which I would consider the normal range.

Comparing against other currencies are tricky, they often move in a similar direction at different rates.
