Is the ICE U.S. Dollar Index adjusted or rebalanced?
There are no regularly scheduled adjustments or rebalances of the ICE U.S. Dollar Index.
The Index was adjusted once when the euro was introduced as the common currency for the European Union (EU) bloc of countries.
ICE, specifically, ICE Futures U.S., monitors the index methodology to ensure that it properly reflects the covered currencies and the FX market in general and makes adjustments as and when necessary (which is like…never).
The ICE U.S. Dollar Index is calculated in real-time approximately every 15 seconds. This real-time calculation is redistributed to all data vendors.
The prices of the DX futures contracts are set by the market and reflect interest rate differentials between the respective currencies and the U.S. dollar.
The real-time prices for the underlying cash U.S. Dollar Index and for futures contracts based on the U.S. Dollar Index are available from market data vendors and on WebICE (an Internet-based subscription service that provides real-time access to trading activity on the ICE trading platform).
Basically, since ICE controls the price data, and they charge a fee for the data feed, access to a real-time fee does not come FREE!
Delayed prices for the cash U.S. Dollar Index can be found on websites such as Bloomberg, MarketWatch, CNBC, WSJ, and Yahoo! Finance.
Delayed prices for ICE U.S. Dollar Index futures are available on the ICE website.
