A weekly FX forecast previews the coming week, flagging a Bank of England rate decision expected to be a hike, Eurozone October preliminary inflation data, and US non-farm payrolls on Friday. It also cites the possibility of a Democratic 'blue wave' in the US midterm elections as a headwind for the dollar.
Expectations of a weaker dollar and a firmer euro, pound and rand tend to make dollar-priced commodities more attractive to non-US buyers, a mildly supportive factor for grain and feed prices. Middle East tension concerns could also weigh on emerging-market currencies.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
