The Australian dollar hit a three-month high of $0.6555 on Monday, gaining on expectations that US rates have peaked and a firmer yuan after the Chinese central bank set its strongest midpoint since August. The kiwi also rose near a one-month high.
A firmer yuan and Aussie reflect expectations of stronger Chinese demand sentiment and a weaker US dollar, which can support dollar-priced commodities. The effect on feed markets is indirect.
