# US stocks rise, dollar slides as investors digest Democrats' midterm victories | Stock markets | The Guardian

> US stocks rose and the dollar fell against the currencies of major US trading partners, hitting a one-month low on Wednesday. Investors moved into Treasuries as a haven from anticipated political gridlock in the rest of Trump's term, and the 10-year yield fell about 4.7 basis points to 4.918%.

## Why it matters

A softer dollar and lower Treasury yields tend to support dollar-priced agricultural commodities by making them cheaper for foreign buyers. The move is a macro currency and rates effect rather than a direct change in feed supply or demand.
