The Australian dollar fell more than 1% against the US dollar to 0.6931 as US technology shares sold off sharply. Stronger-than-expected US labor data and hawkish Federal Reserve comments also supported the US dollar.
A weaker Australian dollar can raise the local-currency cost of imported feed and other commodities, while a stronger US dollar can weigh on dollar-denominated commodity prices. The currency move reflects risk aversion and interest-rate expectations rather than a change in agricultural supply or demand.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
