The stock market fell 0.38% (S&P 500), but this is not important for the US currency, since even if a new global crisis erupts, which is expected to begin with the collapse of the Chinese economy, the dollar will only continue to strengthen as a safe haven .

The next week announced the placement of an incredible $241 billion. With this supply (and demand) for US values, the dollar can only strengthen.
