Reading it. The dollar's value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies, not its buying power at home. A stronger dollar makes imports cheaper and US exports dearer abroad; a weaker one does the reverse. Federal Reserve index, January 2006 = 100.
About the bands. Shaded spans are NBER-dated US recessions, drawn as factual overlays. They mark when the economy contracted, not why. Lining an event or policy up with a move on this chart is not evidence that it caused the move.
