The U.S. dollar is the world's reserve currency, but its dominance may decline as other currencies gain traction. The dollar index has been volatile, reaching a high in January 2022 and falling below 100 in July 2023. U.S. rates have supported the dollar index, but conflicting factors such as falling crude oil prices and robust employment data complicate the currency's outlook.
