The **US Dollar** is showing a steady but slightly soft position today, February 12, 2026. The key measure, the **US Dollar Index (DXY)** — which tracks the greenback against a basket of major currencies like the euro, yen, and pound — is hovering around **96.80 to 96.85**.
That's a tiny dip of about **0.02% to 0.1%** from yesterday, staying almost flat in early trading. After a brief bounce earlier in the week on strong US jobs data (which reduced bets on quick Fed rate cuts), the dollar has settled into a narrow range. Over the past month, it's down roughly **2%**, and it's weakened nearly **10%** over the last year — a sign of longer-term pressure from global rate shifts and economic outlooks.
For folks in India, this translates to the rupee holding firm. Today, **1 USD** buys about **90.7 to 90.8 INR** (mid-market rate), meaning the dollar isn't gaining much ground against the rupee right now.
Overall, the dollar remains in a "wait-and-watch" mode. Traders are eyeing upcoming US inflation numbers (like CPI) for clues on Fed moves. No big drama today — just calm waters for the world's top currency!
