Real indexes adjust nominal exchange rates for relative rates of inflation among countries. A higher value means the dollar has appreciated. The weights used for "total U.S. merchandise exports" index are based on U.S. total merchandise exports to the largest 85 trading partners. Weights are based on relative importance of major U.S. customers, competitors in world markets, and suppliers to the U.S. Indexes are subject to revisions for up to 1 year due to delayed reporting by some countries. High-value products are total agricultural exports less bulk exports. Source: Nominal exchange rates are obtained from the IMF International Financial Statisitics. Exchange rates for the EU-12 are obtained from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Full historical series are available back to January 1970 at http://www.ers.usda.gov/data/exchangerates/ 1. A major revision to the weighting scheme and commodity definitions was completed in May 2000. This significantly altered the series from previous versions. Beginning in August 2002, the base of the series has been changed from 1995 to 2000. Information contact: Mathew Shane (202) 694-5282 or email:mshane@ers.usda.gov.
