Data in the Data Download Program (DDP) for the
following Broad index, the AFE index, the EME index, the Broad- goods only
index, the Major-goods only index, and the OITP- goods only were corrected on February 19, 2019.
The updated posting corrects previous posted data for the G.5/H.10 monthly nominal and real indexes that were incorrectly posted due to a technical issue.
Due to a technical issue, the H.10 release for February 4, 2019 is delayed and will be updated as soon as possible.
Effective on February 4, 2019, the Federal Reserve Board staff will make major changes to the methodology used to construct the trade-weighted dollar indexes in the H.10, G.5, and G.5A releases. These changes will affect the calculation of index weights and country composition. The new dollar indexes will go back to (and be indexed to) January 2006.
For more information, see "Revisions to the Federal Reserve Dollar Indexes" and "technical Q&A"
The daily and weekly releases will be published on the first business day that Federal Reserve Board offices in the Washington, D.C. area reopen.
Revisions of G.5 - Foreign Exchange Rates for January 2, 2019
The G.5 table published on January 2, 2019 contained a
calculation error for the Venezuelan bolivar. The information has been
corrected.
For the G5A annual release, the average
annual exchange rate for the Venezuelan bolivar in 2018 was calculated using the "bolivar fuerte" rate through Friday, August 17 and the
"bolivar soberano" rate multiplied by 100,000 beginning Monday,
August 20.
Due to technical difficulties, the January 7, 2019 H.10 release is temporarily unavailable in the Data Download Program (DDP). The current release is still available at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h10/current/. The DDP will be posted as soon as possible.
U.S. government securities rates sourced from the Treasury department with an as-of date of September 17, 2018, were inadvertently omitted on the H.15 published on Tuesday, September 18, 2018. The missing rates have now been updated.
On September 18 2018, the H.10 Data Download Program was updated to include data through September 14, 2018.
