Currency Stress Index — November 2026: 24.3

The Currency Stress Index stayed fairly quiet in November 2026, averaging 24.3 out of a maximum 25. The month began at its highest point of 25 on November 1st. Tension was driven by worries over structural deficits, large US debt costs, and fears that interest rates could soon outpace economic growth. Things calmed down slightly on November 2nd, when the index dropped by 1 point to hit its lowest reading of 24. A weaker US dollar, prompted by hopes for diplomacy with Iran, also helped boost the British pound and ease global currency markets.
