In November, a decline against the Pacific-excluding-Japan subindex was offset by gains versus the European and other subindexes. The dollar rose again in Decemer as a result of gains versus the Pacific and Pacific-excluding-Japan subindexes although the Americas and European subindexes registered declines.
