Chapter 1
Why the Dollar Comes First
Treat the dollar as pricing, funding, invoicing and liquidity infrastructure before interpreting an asset move.
Open companionChapter 2From Bretton Woods to Fiat Discipline
Read modern monetary discipline through credibility, inflation, rates, funding and balance sheets rather than a single metal anchor.
Open companionChapter 3USD Is Not DXY
Use DXY as a specific developed-market basket, then confirm it with broader dollar and funding evidence before drawing a regime conclusion.
Open companionChapter 4How the Dollar Moves Oil, Gold, Bitcoin, Gas, and FX
Identify the active pricing, funding, opportunity-cost, risk-and-hedge, or flow channel before interpreting an asset response.
Open companionChapter 5Oil Is Not a Dollar Trade Only
Read inventories, balance, logistics, spare capacity and disruption risk before applying the dollar overlay to oil.
Open companionChapter 6Gold and the Dollar
Read gold through real yields, dollar direction and confidence demand instead of a permanent inverse-DXY rule.
Open companionChapter 7Bitcoin and the Dollar
Separate Bitcoin's long-run monetary thesis from its current liquidity, real-rate, access and risk-appetite channels.
Open companionChapter 8Gas / LNG and the Dollar
Read gas from storage, weather, pipes, terminals, export capacity and regional spreads outward to the dollar layer.
Open companionChapter 9FX, Carry, and Translation Risk
Read the broad dollar backdrop before the bilateral pair, then separate rates, funding, carry and translation effects.
Open companionChapter 10Reading Regimes: The Eleven-Year Record
Use the historical record to examine regime classification, failure modes and limitations without converting the score into a return forecast.
Open companionChapter 11The Weekly Operating Framework
Turn the framework into a repeatable sequence: identify the driver, record the three dials, add asset-specific evidence, and compare without forecasting.
Open companionChapter 12Common Mistakes in Dollar and Cross-Asset Analysis
Detect one-variable thinking, benchmark overreach and narrative-first explanations before they harden into conclusions.
Open companionChapter 13What to Watch from Here
Convert the framework into a continuing habit by recording confirmation, challenge, invalidation and the next evidence to verify.

Permanent aliases, replaceable destinations
Printed editions can use short aliases such as usd-impact.com/go/c03 and usd-impact.com/go/c11. The alias remains stable even when the underlying practice route changes in a later approved release.
