The FIE Input Cost Index eased two points to 137, remaining well above its high-pressure threshold of 115. U.S. diesel prices fell for a second consecutive week to $6.13 per gallon, ocean container rates dipped 2%, corn fell to its lowest price since July, and boxed beef posted a fifth straight weekly decline.
Diesel remained $2.29 per gallon above its year-earlier level, while a labor deadline at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports was set for November 20.
Lower corn, diesel and freight costs ease near-term input expenses, but diesel remains elevated year over year and potential port labor disruption could threaten beef export logistics. The article reports price moves without identifying a new underlying driver, so the direct commodity signal is modestly bearish for corn and diesel.
