Something weird just happened to the WSJ Dollar Index [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-09-02

The WSJ dollar index measures the dollar against 17 other currencies. It’s been humming along around 95 for a while . At 9:23 pm EDT on Sept 2, it dropped to 8.17, then went to 9.17 , a loss of over 90%. Then, at midnight it went back up to around 95. The DXY, which measures the US dollar against 6 other currencies, didn’t do anything weird, just chugged along around 98. It’s likely somebody just pressed the wrong key, but maybe something else was going on. Can any of you financial types out there shed light on this?
