  • by wbabler
U.S. dollar (USD) strength continued within the Atten Babler Commodities Dairy Foreign Exchange (FX) Indexes during Jan ’15.

A strengthening USD/Dairy Exporter FX Index reduces the competitiveness of U.S. dairy products relative to other exporting regions, ultimately resulting in less foreign demand for U.S. products, all other factors being equal. USD appreciation against the Argentine peso has accounted for the majority of the gains since the beginning of 2014. USD-Dairy Exporter FX Index - Jan USD/Dairy Importer FX Index: The USD/Dairy Importer FX Index increased 5.6 points in Jan ’15 to a new high value of 133.9. The USD/Dairy Importer FX Index has increased 27.6 points since the beginning of 2014 and 27.0 points throughout the past six months. A strengthening USD/Dairy Importer FX Index results in less purchasing power for major dairy importing countries, making U.S. dairy products more expensive to import. USD appreciation against the Russian ruble has accounted for the majority of the gains since the beginning of 2014. USD-Dairy Importer FX Index - Jan USD/Domestic Dairy Importer FX Index: The USD/Domestic Dairy Importer FX Index increased 1.2 points in Jan ’15 to a new high value of 132.2. The USD/Domestic Dairy Importer FX Index has increased 10.5 points since the beginning of 2014 and 10.1 points throughout the past six months. A strengthening USD/Domestic Dairy Importer FX Index results in less purchasing power for the traditional buyers of U.S. dairy products, ultimately resulting in less foreign demand for U.S. products, all other factors being equal. USD appreciation against the Mexican peso, Iranian rial and Ukrainian hryvnia has accounted for the majority of the gains since the beginning of 2014. USD-Dairy Domestic Importer FX Index - Jan
