mmary Measures
 of the Foreign Exchange Value of the Dollar," Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 8
4 (October 1998),
 pp. 811-18 (http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/bulletin/). Weights for the bro
ad index can be
 found at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/H10/Weights; weights for the m
ajor currencies
 index and the other important trading partners (OITP) index are derived from t
he broad index
 weights. The most recent annual revision of the currency weights and dollar in
dexes took effect
 with the February 3, 2005, release of this report.
 The source for exchange rates not listed in the table above but used in the ca
lculation of the
 broad and OITP indexes is Bloomberg L.P.

 *  U.S. dollars per currency unit.
 1) A weighted average of the foreign exchange value of the U.S. dollar against
 the currencies
 of a broad group of major U.S. trading partners.
 2) A weighted average of the foreign exchange value of the U.S. dollar against
 a subset of
 the broad index currencies that circulate widely outside the country of issue.
 3) A weighted average of the foreign exchange value of the U.S. dollar against
 a subset of
 the broad index currencies that do not circulate widely outside the country of
 issue.

 The euro is reported in place of the individual euro-area currencies. These cu
rrency rates can
 be derived from the dollar/euro rate by using the fixed conversion rates (in c
urrencies per euro)
