DXY Classic Symbol is a synthetic USD index designed to replicate the traditional Dollar Index structure using the standard basket composition and weight distribution.
It provides traders with a stable and familiar benchmark for analyzing U.S. Dollar strength within the cTrader platform.

EUR: 57.6%
JPY: 13.6%
GBP: 11.9%
CAD: 9.1%
SEK: 4.2%
