The ICE U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), a widely tracked index that measures the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies, often referred to colloquially as the 'come USD index' from its ticker symbol DXY in Chinese markets
投资者通常关注来美元指数的走势来判断美元对其他主要货币的强弱。
Investors usually pay attention to the trend of the U.S. Dollar Index to judge the strength of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies.
Etymology
The term originated in Chinese financial markets. The ticker symbol for the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) U.S. Dollar Index is DXY, which is pronounced similarly to the Chinese phrase 'lái méi' (come dollar), leading to the colloquial name 'lái měiyuán zhǐshù' (come dollar index)
Memory Aid
Remember that the 'lái' (come) comes from the pronunciation of the ticker DXY, not any meaning of 'coming' in Chinese.
