The US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern history

DXY index - often what these news reports use when talking about the dollars decline is ~97 today—still stronger than the ~90 it finished 2014 at and almost the same as 2018.

Ask yourself, did you panic during these years? Mostly no. These were pretty good years.

that index grew significantly in both those years...

Volatility is normal - the main point is the index was lower than it is today (meaning we had a weaker dollar than this blog post is referring to as problematic) and the result wasn’t chaos - the economy grew.
