Talk:U.S. Dollar Index

New dollar index
Dow Jones Indexes, the providers for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as well as other indices, has recently released a new US Dollar Index in collaboration with currency broker FXCM. This has been featured in the media, such as the Wall Street Journal.

Who publishes the US Dollar Index?
I have written a wikipedia reference entry to provide some background on this index. I invite Wikipedia editors to review and make suggestions: Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index

The main point that needs to be raised about this page is the omission of information about the owner and/or the compiler of the underlying index. Whilst a futures market is indeed available derived from the so-called 'cash' market, the authority which compiles and publishes the original index on a day-to-day basis is not mentioned. I believe that authority is the New York Board of Trade but I am not sure. I am merely pointing out that the data provider is an important aspect of the information to include. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yarzharzhin (talk • contribs) 16:47, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Reply to DFXWicki: you are referring to a similar but different 'dollar index'. The index you refer to is not the one currently published by ICE Futures Exchange according tot the article this discussion relates to. You probably know this. It appears you may be attempting to direct attribution for originating the original dollar index to the providers of an commercial alternative. At best, inaccurate, at worst, you're marketing.

Often referred to as DX - should disambiguate to here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.243.106.82 (talk) 15:22, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Use of ICE Registered Trademarks
This page includes a source identifier for U.S. Dollar Index: “The index is maintained and published by ICE (Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.), with the name "U.S. Dollar Index" a registered trademark.”

This page contains registered trademarks of Intercontinental Exchange Holdings, Inc. ("ICE") or its affiliates that are being used without an indication that they are trademarks. On behalf of ICE, we suggest the following be added as the last sentence of the lead section in addition to the already-present source identifying sentence:

“The terms U.S. Dollar Index®, ICE®, and Intercontinental Exchange® are registered trademarks of Intercontinental Exchange Holdings, Inc. or its affiliates.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.175.3.8 (talk) 21:10, 11 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Nope. Trademarks are not to be formally attributed in Wikipedia articles (such as with the recitation and ® mark you assert), as is explained in MOS:TRADEMARKS, because the encyclopedia citation is not a commercial use of the mark. My own edits are deliberately including the fact that the "U.S. Dollar Index" is an ICE proprietary product, but only to emphasize that this index is quite arbitrary and not an academic, theoretical, or general concept of currency value in economics. And you folks trademarking an utterly generic phrase like "U.S. Dollar Index" is despicable. Richard J Kinch (talk) 05:35, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Regrettable, perhaps, but "despicable"? What is this, mass murder? In any case, you're displaying your ignorance. ICE is not the creator, nor the original owner of the IP. It has latterly acquired such rights. Therefore, it did not trademark the term "Dollar Index". As the latest owner of the IP that codifies use of the term, yes it will benefit from ownership. Still, it would be helpful for all if we all keep our facts straight and our language temperate. Yarzharzhin (talk) 17:32, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

U$DX?
Are you SURE it's "U$DX"? I think that is wrong symbol. 2600:1700:4CA1:3C80:C971:960:8429:F323 (talk) 18:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
