Constructed import and export-weighted exchange rates for specific U.S. manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries are provided below. These exchange rates are defined as foreign currency per unit of U.S. dollar, so that an increase (decrease) is a dollar appreciation (depreciation). All indices are presented in real terms. Charts by industry for the period from 1973Q1 through 2010Q4 are in the drop-down menus below. Historical data is organized in a master spreadsheet. We also provide data files on the export, import, and imported input exposures for each U.S. industry with these respective terms defined as exports relative to shipments, imports relative to consumption, and imported input use relative to total production costs. These data show how the trade orientation of each U.S. industry has evolved over time.

Data are updated through December 2010.
