The euro rose on Thursday as the dollar weakened after the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 1.50%-1.75%, its third cut this year. The Fed dropped its 'act as appropriate' language, which was seen as less hawkish than expected, and the euro traded near $1.1161.
A weaker dollar tends to support dollar-denominated commodity prices and can improve export competitiveness for US grains and meals, while the Fed's softer stance points to continued easy financial conditions.
