Contract History
If you are interested in trading U.S. Dollar futures it is helpful to become familiar with the history
of the U.S. Dollar market. The ICE Futures U.S. Dollar Index (USDX®), is a leading benchmark for the international
value of the US dollar and the world's most widely-recognized, publicly-traded currency index. By using the Dollar Index, traders can take advantage of moves in the value of the US dollar relative to a basket of
world currencies or can hedge their portfolio of assets against the risk of a move in the US dollar in a single transaction.
US Dollar Index futures are traded for 22 hours a day on the electronic trading platform of
the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE).
