The Australian Dollar traded near 0.7010 against the US Dollar after Australia's trade surplus widened in September, with exports rising 2.3% and imports falling 3.3%. The Aussie was also supported by broad US Dollar weakness, while gains were capped by the Reserve Bank of Australia's more cautious tone.
A firmer Aussie tends to make Australian commodity exports like wheat, barley and meat pricier in dollar terms, and a weaker USD supports dollar-priced grains; the effect on feed prices is modest and indirect.
