The WSJ Dollar Index will get a new member next week: the Brazilian real.

The addition will bring the index to 17 currency pairs against the greenback. The Wall Street Journal launched the index, ticker BUXX, in 2012.

The index measures the dollar against a basket of currencies weighted by foreign-exchange trading volumes. That data is based on a report published by the Bank for International Settlements every three years. Inclusion in the index is restricted to dollar-currency pairs that account for at least 1% of global turnover.

The real, which has strengthened this year, dropped out of the club in 2022. But recently published BIS data gave it a ticket to claim its place back on Dec. 15.
