Eurozone inflation rose to 4.0% in October from 3.8% in September, its highest in three years, driven mainly by energy costs, while core inflation held at 2.5%. The euro traded near 1.1269 and sterling near 1.3500 as the dollar index fell to about 101.22 ahead of the Bank of England decision.
Persistent energy-led inflation raises the odds of further ECB tightening, which supports the euro and weighs on dollar-priced commodities. For feed buyers, the impact on grain and meal prices is limited and mainly runs through currency moves.
