The dollar steadied in Asian trading after falling against major currencies on Monday, as investors waited for US October CPI before extending positions. The euro held near $1.1220, while the Australian and New Zealand dollars retained gains; lower oil prices and stronger equities had weighed on the dollar the previous day.
A softer dollar can support dollar-denominated commodity prices, but the pause ahead of CPI leaves the immediate currency signal uncertain. Any resulting price effect for feed buyers is indirect and modest.
After 359 past neutral macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
