For more information on exchange rate indexes for the U.S. dollar, see "Indexes of the Foreign
Exchange Value of the Dollar," Federal Reserve Bulletin, 91:1 (Winter 2005), pp. 1-8
(http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/bulletin/2005/winter05_index.pdf). Weights for the broad index
can be found at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/H10/Weights; weights for the major currencie
index and the other important trading partners (OITP) index are derived from the broad index
weights. The most recent annual revision of the currency weights and dollar indexes took effect
with the May 2010 release of this report.
The source for exchange rates not listed in the table above but used in the calculation of the
broad and OITP indexes is Bloomberg L.P.
