ING says the euro has struggled to gain against the dollar despite a US technology-stock sell-off, as investors have favored holding dollar cash.

Demand for dollar cash supports the US currency and limits euro gains, implying a capped or weaker EUR/USD. The article does not identify a direct feed or agricultural commodity effect.
