The dollar and major currencies held steady on Monday as investors awaited the US midterm elections, which could shift control of Congress. Bitcoin and ether fell after a record $6.3 billion heist at Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange.
Traders also faced US jobs data and central bank decisions in the UK, Australia, Norway and Sweden that week.
A rangebound dollar ahead of the elections and key data leaves little direct pressure on feed-grain or meal prices. Election outcomes could still shift fiscal and trade expectations that feed into dollar-denominated commodity pricing.
