> USD/CAD traded near 1.3970 as the US dollar eased on lower safe-haven demand amid Qatari and Iranian talks to end the Middle East war. Crude prices fell after OPEC+ agreed to keep December production targets steady. Markets priced roughly a 75% chance of a December Fed hike.

## Why it matters

Lower crude weighs on biofuel and energy-linked feedstock values and on the commodity-linked Canadian dollar. Rate-hike expectations support the dollar, which can pressure dollar-denominated grain and oilseed prices.
