The New York Fed reported that the US Treasury and Federal Reserve did not intervene in foreign exchange markets in Q4 2018. The dollar gained 1.8% on the broad trade-weighted index that quarter, driven by risk-off sentiment.
The report confirms no official FX intervention, so currency moves are market-driven; it has little direct effect on feed prices.
After 23 past neutral report events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -0.2% to +0.4%), and +0.5% over 20.
