Capital Economics expects the euro to weaken to about 1.15 against the dollar by year-end 2021, after a roughly 4% rise since late March to around 1.22. The forecast rests on the ECB staying very accommodative for years while the Fed raises rates earlier than the eurozone and US inflation proves stronger.
A stronger dollar would make U.S. feed commodities more expensive for euro-based buyers and tends to pressure dollar-denominated grain and meal prices. This is an analyst forecast rather than a new event, so the impact is modest.
