A CQG review shows the dollar index rose 0.41% in Q3 2018 while commodities fell 4.81%, with all six major sectors posting losses. Soft commodities fell 11.51% and lean hog futures dropped nearly 25% over the period.
The quarterly losses reflect trade tensions and higher US rates, and the hog decline signals weaker livestock values that matter for feed demand. This is a backward-looking market summary without a new cause.
