of currencys.
But when the $ is being bid up it is normaly because T bills
are being bought up,ie swapping other currencys for $ to buy
the T bills.
DXY is little more than the mirror image of Fiber because of the weightings
towards the Euro.
Hope thats clear,i'm crap at explaining things.
You can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

They aren't as such,DXY is i measure of the $ against a basket
of currencys.

Fed so no swaps needed.
