The Dow Jones PCM Dollar Index Basket is designed to correspond to the price performance of the US dollar, as represented by the Dow Jones PCM Dollar Index. It reflects the change in value of the US dollar measured against a basket of the most liquid currencies in the world: the Euro, British pound, the Japanese yen, and the Australian dollar.

The Dow Jones PCM Dollar Index began on January 1, 2011, at a value of 10,000.00. It represents an equivalent $10,000 position in each of the four currencies that make it up.

The value of the index is the value of the equivalent US Dollar position against these currencies. It rises when the Dollar rises against the Euro, the British Pound, and the Australian Dollar and falls as the Dollar depreciates compared to these currencies. For example, if the US dollar rallies 100 pips against each the EUR, GBP, JPY, and AUD, the index will appreciate by approximately 100 points. It's that simple.

The Dow Jones PCM Dollar Index Basket, which is shown on PCM's trading platforms as US DOLLAR, is composed in the same way. Its tradable quotes are based on the current EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, and AUD/USD rates quoted by PCM.
