Dollar’s Cracks Are Showing — and the Market Smells BloodU.S. Dollar Currency IndexTVC:DXYLegendSinceThe dollar’s strength cracked in September as fundamentals turned against the greenback.

At the same time, growing chatter about fiscal strain and a possible government shutdown eroded demand for U.S. assets.
