"The index was designed to help traders assess whether the US Dollar is strengthening or weakening and is known for its transparency and simplicity. It reflects the change in value of the US Dollar measured against the basket of currencies: it rises when the US Dollar gains value relative to this basket and it falls when the opposite happens."
Feb 1 2017: 12,362
Feb 1 2021: 11,714 (down 5.2%, 1st Trump term)
Feb 1 2025: 13,176 (up 12.5% Biden term)
now: 12,665 (down 3.9% so far, 2nd Trump term)

That index history goes back to Jan 1 2011. So what it has under Obama until 2017 was a gain of 24.1%, but not his full 8 year term.
