The US Dollar is doing well because traders are thinking about what the Federal Reserve will do and what is happening in the Middle East.
On Friday people who trade were looking at what the Federal Reserve might do with interest rates. Some people from the Federal Reserve said things that made traders think interest rates will stay high for a while.

The US Dollar Index is near its point this week. Traders are waiting to see what happens with the economy so they can figure out what the Federal Reserve will do next.
There is also a lot of tension in the Middle East, which is making traders nervous. Some people are investing in things because they are worried. The US Dollar is one of those things but traders are being careful because they do not know what will happen next.
The Japanese Yen is not doing well because interest rates are higher in the US than in Japan. This makes the US Dollar stronger than the Yen.
