DXY Index Tumbles: Is the US Dollar’s Dominance Starting to Crumble?

The DXY's dip sparks fresh debate—is this a blip or the beginning of a seismic shift?

King dollar's crown looking a little loose these days. The DXY (US Dollar Currency Index) just took another leg down, and suddenly everyone's asking: Is the almighty greenback finally losing its grip? Or are the doomsayers just getting ahead of themselves—again?
