Dollar Index at 103.15: Friday, February 13, 2026 Close

The U.S. dollar index closed at 103.15 on Friday, February 13, 2026, up 0.4% from the previous close. The dollar gained strength on higher-than-expected inflation data and strong U.S. employment report for January, which reinforced the case for maintaining accommodative monetary policy. The dollar was also supported by a narrowing spread between 10-year Treasury yields and those of equivalent European and Japanese government bonds, signaling continued risk-off sentiment in global markets.
