The picture seems to have turned upside down for the U.S. dollar. While previously the Greenback posted gains against all but two of its observed peers, by the end of the past period it stood outpaced by all the currencies save the pound and the Loonie. The dollar index ended up the third worst performer, with a last minute safe from scoring second provided by its Canadian counterpart's plunge at the very end of the period. The only constant thing seems to be the long-term index changes — they once again remained negative, losses growing with increasing time frames.
