About US Dollar ($)

USD is the world's primary reserve currency (~58% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER Q1 2024), the dominant currency in international trade (~88% of foreign-exchange transactions involve USD per BIS Triennial Survey 2022), and the unit of pricing for global commodities (oil, gold, copper, wheat).

The Federal Reserve targets 2% PCE inflation per its dual mandate (price stability + maximum employment) per the Federal Reserve Act + Humphrey-Hawkins Act 1978.
