Can someone please explain to me how the I-Fund shows up 0.85% today when the EFA was down -0.03%?

The I Fund is based on EFA, but is also affected by the US Dollar. I was expecting a little boost today from some USD action yesterday afternoon, but there was also alot of action today that boosted the fund as well. Expect to have a down day (compared to EFA) tomorrow to balance it out.
