H1 2025 ranks 4th worst on record (-7.6%).
Only three first halves were worse:
– 1973 (-10.2%) — Bretton Woods breakdown
– 1986 (-9.4%) — post-Plaza Accord unwind
– 2003 (-8.1%) — Iraq War period
The dollar stabilized in H2 2025, but remains ~8% below its January 2025 peak (as of April 2026).
Data: FRED Broad Dollar Index (DTWEXM 1973–2006, DTWEXBGS 2007–2025)

Tools: Python (pandas + matplotlib). Happy to answer methodology questions.
Historically moves like this tend to cluster around the major macro regime changes like inflation or policy changes.
So the question is if this just cyclical… or something more structural?
Curious how people here are thinking about it.
Wow, thats wild! Seeing the dollars performance laid out like this is pretty eye-opening. Makes you wonder whats coming next tbh.
As an Australian buying USD for an upcoming vacation, please keep the trend going.
This is that „winning“ part.
What are the 4 at the top?
As someone paid in USD living in Europe, I feel every bit of this chart deep in my bills.
That’s a great job that America is doing right now, the rest of the world is very excited by that. /s
A US economy plot without a red/blue colour scheme?! Blasphemy!
3rd worst since 73 according to you. You’d have to go beyond 73 to get a 4th.
Digital nomads feeling it too.
It’s insane that one person can wield this much power over the US dollar
Announcing then imposing tariffs without congressional approval led to the performance of the US dollar during that period
For context, something like 800 *NET* jobs were created in NYC over that same timespan
This is the clearest indicator that voting matters
