The dollar eased after benign US data reinforced expectations of a December Fed rate cut, with markets pricing an 84% chance of a 25-basis-point move. The New Zealand dollar jumped after the RBNZ cut rates as expected but signalled a more hawkish path.
The Australian dollar traded near $0.6478 after a brief rise on stronger-than-forecast inflation.
Dollar weakness on Fed cut bets can modestly support USD-priced commodities, but this story is about rate expectations rather than a change in grain or feed fundamentals. The price effect for feed buyers is small.
