Hamas' attack against Israel in October 2023 and the ensuing conflict, have had, and may continue to have, an impact on certain markets, including futures markets. While this impact has been particularly pronounced in energy markets (such as natural gas and oil), the conflict has also disrupted certain global shipping and trade routes, which may have wide ranging impacts across markets.see in full comparisonFor example, the Houthi movement, which controls parts of Yemen, launched a number of attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea. The Red Sea is an important maritime route for international trade. As a result of these disruptions, companies have re-routed vessels around the Cape of Good Hope rather than transiting through the Suez Canal and/or the Red Sea. While a ceasefire agreement has been reached, there is no guarantee that the parties will continue to comply with the terms of the agreement and the agreement does not mean the conflict will be resolved.The possibility of a prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the potential escalation and/or expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict, including, for example, the escalation of armed conflict between Israel and Iran, could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets.

As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, political turmoil in the U.S. or in other countries, or armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region, for example the current conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and Hamas and Israel in the Middle East, may impact the Fund's investments. Such turmoil or conflicts, and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe effects on regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty.

Pandemics and Other Public Health Emergencies, Could Disrupt the Global Economy and Adversely Impact the Fund’s Performance.
Pandemics and other public health crises may cause a curtailment of business activities which may potentially impact the ability of the Managing Owner and its service providers to operate. The COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crises could adversely impact the Fund by causing operating delays and disruptions, market disruption and shutdowns (including as a result of government regulation and prevention measures). The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, had substantive effects on social, economic and financial systems, including significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial market.

Certain changes in the U.S. economy in particular, such as when the U.S. economy weakens or when its financial markets decline, may have a material adverse effect on global financial markets as a whole. Increasingly strained relations between the U.S. and foreign countries, including as a result of economic sanctions and tariffs, may also adversely affect currency futures markets. A decrease in U.S. imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, including the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, trade wars or other economic sanctions on traditional allies or adversaries and their responses thereto, inflation, and/or an economic recession in the U.S. may have a material adverse effect on the U.S. economy, global financial markets as a whole and the currency futures markets to which the Fund has exposure. Proposed and adopted policy and legislative actions in the U.S. may impact many aspects of financial and other regulations and may have a significant effect, including potentially adversely, on U.S. markets generally. The continued maintenance of elevated debt levels by the U.S. government as projected by governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations, or the imposition of U.S. austerity measures, could potentially constrain future economic growth and the ability to effectively respond to economic downturns. If these trends were to continue, they could adversely impact the U.S. economy, global financial markets as a whole and the currency futures markets in particular.
The Index currently is not composed of any contracts subject to position limits imposed by either the CFTC or the rules of ICE Futures U.S. To the extent position limits apply to the Fund, and if the Managing Owner determines that the Fund’s trading may be approaching any of these position limits, the Fund may reduce its trading in the corresponding commodity futures contracts or may trade futures contracts in other commodities that the Managing Owner determines will best position the Fund to pursue its investment objective. Depending on the outcome of any future CFTC or futures exchange rulemaking, as applicable, the rules concerning position limits may be amended in a manner that is detrimental to the Fund.

“In 2023, the U.S. dollar ended 2023 largely flat – while it moved lower in the first quarter, prices rebounded in the second quarter and third quarter before falling again in the fourth quarter. To start the year, the U.S. dollar retreated rapidly on anticipation for a dovish pivot in the Federal Reserve’s rate hike plans. However, in February, expectations for the Federal Reserve turned more hawkish amid stickier-than-expected U.S. inflation and a strong U.S. labor market. In March, while the U.S. …”see in full comparison

The U.S. dollar’s downtrend persisted throughout the year, driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, waning confidence in the U.S. economy amid tariff‑related pressures and stagflation concerns, softening macroeconomic data, and rising skepticism around the Federal Reserve’s policy credibility—all of which added momentum to the broader U.S. dollar debasement trade.

Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (the “Fund”), a separate series of Invesco DB US Dollar Index Trust (the “Trust”), was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 3, 2006. The term of the Fund is perpetual (unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances) as provided for in the Fifth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of the Trust,Fund, as amended (the “Trust Agreement”). The Fund has an unlimited number of shares authorized for issuance.
Invesco Capital Management LLC has served as the managing owner (the “Managing Owner”), commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor of the Trust and the Fund since February 23, 2015. The Managing Owner is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor, and it is a member firm of the National Futures Association (“NFA”).
When the Fund enters into futures contracts, the Fund is exposed to credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations. The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and on most foreign futures exchanges is the clearing house associated with the particular exchange. In general, clearing houses are backed by their corporate members who may be required to share in the financial burden resulting from the nonperformance by one of their members and, as such, is designed to disperse and mitigate the credit risk posed by any one member. In cases where the clearing house is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it may be backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to the Fund.
The Fund’s entire source of capital is derived from the Fund’s offering of Shares to Authorized Participants. The Fund in turn allocates its net assets to currency futures trading. A significant portion of the NAV ismay be held in United States Treasury Obligations,Obligations or cash, which may be used as margin for the Fund’s trading in currency futures contracts and United States Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds, cash and T-Bill ETFs, if any, which may be used for cash management purposes. The amount of cash and/or United States Treasury Obligations on deposit with the Commodity Broker may exceed the amount of margin required to be on deposit, depending on market conditions and comparative yields available from United States Treasury Obligations, money market funds, T-Bill ETFs and cash held on deposit with Commodity Broker. The percentage that United States Treasury Obligations bear to the total net assets will vary from period to period as the market values of the Fund’s currency futuresinterests change. A portion of the Fund’s United States Treasury Obligations is held for deposit with the Commodity Broker to meet margin requirements. All remaining cash, money market mutual funds, T-Bill ETFs, if any, and United States Treasury Obligations are on deposit with the Custodian. Interest earned on the Fund’s interest-bearing funds and dividends from the Fund’s holdings of money market mutual funds are paid to the Fund. Any dividends or distributions of capital gains received from the Fund’s holdings of T-Bill ETFs, if any, are paid to the Fund.

These amounts primarily include net income (loss), net purchases and sales of money market mutual funds and net purchases and sales of United States Treasury Obligations which are held at fair value on the Statements of Financial Condition.Obligations. The Fund may hold United States Treasury Obligations, affiliated investments and net deposits to/from Commodity Broker. The Fund invests in futures contracts in an attempt to track its Index. The Fund invests in United States Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds andfunds, T-Bill ETFs (affiliated or otherwise), if any, or maintains excess deposits with brokers for margin and/or cash management purposes only. While the Fund's performance reflects the appreciation and depreciation of those holdings, the Fund's performance, whether positive or negative, is driven primarily by its strategy of trading DX Contracts with the aim of seeking to track the Index.

The following graphs illustrate the percentage changes in (i) the market price of the Shares (as reflected by the line “Market”), (ii) the Fund’s NAV (as reflected by the line “NAV”), and (iii) the closing levels of the Index (as reflected by the line “Deutsche Bank Long USD Currency Portfolio Index-Excess ReturnTM”). Whenever the Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income, if any, earned by the Fund exceeds Fund expenses, the price of the Shares generally exceeds the level of the Index at that time primarily because the Share price reflects Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income, if any, from the Fund's collateral holdings whereas the Index does not consider such income. There can be no assurance that the price of the Shares or the Fund’s NAV will exceed the Index levels.
For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increaseddecreased from $27.09$29.42 per Share to $29.42$27.04 per Share.

The Fund delivered a negative return in 2025, pressured by the sharp weakening of the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar’s downtrend persisted throughout the year, driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, waning confidence in the U.S. economy amid tariff‑related pressures and stagflation concerns, softening macroeconomic data, and rising skepticism around the Federal Reserve’s policy credibility—all of which added momentum to the broader U.S. dollar debasement trade. Although the U.S. dollar saw intermittent rebounds, including modest strength in the third and fourth quarters, these moves proved temporary as structural headwinds continued to push the U.S. dollar lower.

In 2023, the U.S. dollar ended 2023 largely flat – while it moved lower in the first quarter, prices rebounded in the second quarter and third quarter before falling again in the fourth quarter. To start the year, the U.S. dollar retreated rapidly on anticipation for a dovish pivot in the Federal Reserve’s rate hike plans. However, in February, expectations for the Federal Reserve turned more hawkish amid stickier-than-expected U.S. inflation and a strong U.S. labor market. In March, while the U.S. dollar initially continued higher on the financial sector turmoil, returning speculation for a softer Federal Reserve stance, amid the heightened uncertainty, sent prices lower to end the quarter. Despite continued talks for a pause in U.S. rate hikes, which actually happened in June, the U.S. dollar remained relatively well supported in the second quarter on hawkish Federal Reserve comments. In the third quarter, the U.S. dollar experienced renewed strength amid U.S. economic resilience and the Federal Reserve’s more hawkish, higher-for-longer rhetoric. However, U.S. dollar weakness returned to end the year as Federal Reserve rate cut expectations grew.

While the initial tariff driven rally in late 2024 was predicated on relative U.S. strength versus trading partners, the narrative has since reversed. The tariffs announced on Liberation Day in April undermined U.S. consumer and business confidence, fueling domestic growth concerns and de-dollarization trades. The 90-day tariff truce with China temporarily eased trade tensions in mid-May but continued uncertainty weighed on gains. …”see in full comparison

This marked a sharp reversal from the strong rally to end 2024, when the incoming U.S. administration's tariff policy was expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the currency of the United States' trading partners, in turn boosting the U.S. dollar. Inflation predictions also led the markets to reevaluate the Federal Reserve’s easing plans, with the potential to leave rates higher for longer. However, those factors are now hurting the U.S. …”see in full comparison

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCHJUNE 31,30, 2026 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCHJUNE 31,30, 2025
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $27.04$27.79 per Share to $27.79$28.41 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and related change from the Share price on DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $26.48$27.30 per Share (-2.07%-1.76%) on JanuaryApril 27,15, 2026 and a high of $27.98$28.53 per Share (+3.48%2.66%) on MarchJune 30,24, 2026. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +2.77%.2.23%.
The U.S. dollar strengthened during the second quarter of 2026 leading to gains for the Fund, as rising inflation concerns tied to higher energy prices led markets to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. As the U.S.-Iran conflict raised concerns that energy-driven inflation could become more persistent, some market participants even began discussing the possibility of rate hikes, supporting U.S. yields and the dollar. The shift in policy expectations pressured several major currencies, including the euro, which faced headwinds from soft economic growth and a more accommodative European Central Bank, and the Japanese yen, which remained weighed down by the Bank of Japan's gradual approach to policy normalization. Sterling also weakened against the dollar as investors favored U.S. assets amid elevated global uncertainty. Overall, widening interest rate differentials and continued demand for dollar liquidity supported gains in the U.S. dollar during the quarter.
The U.S. dollar strengthened modestly in the first quarter of 2026, resulting in positive performance for the Fund. Heightened geopolitical uncertainty stemming from escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, including the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, raised concerns around energy supply disruptions and renewed inflationary pressures. These risks contributed to fears of energy shocks, food price inflation, and broader ripple effects across the global economy, prompting markets to push out expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Demand for the U.S. dollar was supported by safe‑haven flows, defensive positioning, and a preference for liquidity amid uncertain global growth and financial conditions. While intermittent improvements in risk sentiment led to brief pullbacks, risk-off dynamics ultimately supported the U.S. dollar over the quarter.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share decreased from $29.42$28.55 per Share to $28.55$26.88 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 and related change from the Share price on DecemberMarch 31, 20242025 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $28.26$26.88 per Share (-3.94%-5.85%) on MarchJune 11,30, 2025 and a high of $29.85$28.58 per Share (+1.46%0.11%) on JanuaryApril 13,01, 2025. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was -2.96%.-5.85%.
The U.S. dollar remained under pressure in the second quarter of 2025, extending its first quarter weakness, leading to losses for the Fund. While the initial tariff driven rally in late 2024 was predicated on relative U.S. strength versus trading partners, the narrative has since reversed. The tariffs announced on Liberation Day in April undermined U.S. consumer and business confidence, fueling domestic growth concerns and de-dollarization trades. The 90-day tariff truce with China temporarily eased trade tensions in mid-May but continued uncertainty weighed on gains. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve maintained its dovish stance, with markets still pricing in 50 basis points of interest rate cuts for the year, further eroding yield support for the greenback. In contrast, the euro found support from resilient economic data and fiscal stimulus tied to defense and infrastructure, while the yen benefited from the Bank of Japan’s continued tightening bias. With global policy divergence widening and confidence in U.S. fiscal discipline faltering, the U.S. dollar’s outlook remained clouded heading into the second half of the year.
The U.S. dollar moved lower in the first quarter of 2025 leading to losses for the Fund. This marked a sharp reversal from the strong rally to end 2024, when the incoming U.S. administration's tariff policy was expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the currency of the United States' trading partners, in turn boosting the U.S. dollar. Inflation predictions also led the markets to reevaluate the Federal Reserve’s easing plans, with the potential to leave rates higher for longer. However, those factors are now hurting the U.S. dollar; tariffs and stagflation fears have upended market confidence in the U.S., while the Federal Reserve may still reduce interest rates by 0.50% in 2025 (lower interest rates reduce demand for the U.S. dollar). In contrast, the euro and other European currencies are being propped up by major defense and infrastructure spending plans, and the outlook looks brighter for the Japanese yen, with the Bank of Japan in a rate hiking cycle as the rest of the world’s major economies pulled back.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the NAV of each Share increased from $27.07$27.81 per Share to $27.81$28.41 per Share.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Fund Share Price Performance
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $27.04 per Share to $28.41 per Share. The Share price low and high for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and related change from the Share price on December 31, 2025 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $26.48 per Share (-2.07%) on January 27, 2026 and a high of $28.53 per Share (+5.51%) on June 24, 2026. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +5.07%.
The U.S. dollar strengthened in the first half of 2026, supported by its role as a global safe-haven asset amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty and shifting monetary policy expectations. This led to gains for the Fund. Escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and broader market volatility increased demand for dollar-denominated assets during the first half of the year. Rising energy prices also fueled inflation concerns, prompting markets to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, with some investors even discussing the possibility of rate hikes. The resulting increase in U.S. yields supported the dollar against most major currencies, particularly the euro and Japanese yen. The euro faced headwinds from weak economic growth and a relatively accommodative European Central Bank, while the yen remained pressured by the Bank of Japan's gradual approach to policy normalization. Despite periods of volatility tied to ceasefire negotiations and changing geopolitical developments, safe-haven demand and widening interest rate differentials helped support the U.S. dollar during the first half of 2026.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share decreased from $29.42 per Share to $26.88 per Share. The Share price low and high for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and related change from the Share price on December 31, 2024 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $26.88 per Share (-8.63%) on June 30, 2025 and a high of $29.85 per Share (1.46%) on January 13, 2025. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was -8.63%.
The U.S. dollar declined sharply in the first half of 2025, resulting in negative performance for the Fund. This marks a sharp reversal from the strong rally that closed out 2024, when President Trump’s tariff policy was expected to disproportionately impact trading partners’ currencies and support the greenback. However, those same policies have since undermined U.S. investor and business confidence, with stagflation and domestic growth concerns becoming top of mind. This, coupled with geopolitical instability in the second quarter, pushed investors further away from the U.S. dollar and towards safe havens like the Swiss franc and Japanese yen. The euro was also buoyed by defense and infrastructure stimulus, and the Japanese yen strengthened on expected Bank of Japan rate hikes, which added pressure to the U.S. dollar. Finally, the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance, maintaining 50 basis points of expected interest rate cuts, also eroded yield support for the U.S. dollar.
