According to The Kobeissi Letter, the Fed’s Trade Weighted Real Broad Dollar Index is sitting near a 40-year high, underscoring historically strong USD conditions. According to the Federal Reserve Board H.10 data, this real broad index tracks the inflation-adjusted value of the USD against a trade-weighted basket of 26 currencies and current readings remain at multi-decade extremes. According to research from the Bank for International Settlements and the Federal Reserve, sustained USD appreciation tightens global financial conditions and can pressure dollar-denominated risk assets by reducing global liquidity. According to Kaiko market data, BTC and ETH have generally exhibited a negative correlation with the US dollar index in recent cycles, implying potential headwinds for crypto performance if USD strength persists.
