> The dollar index rallied to a 1.5-year high after October CPI came in hotter than expected and several Fed members backed tighter policy. Markets priced a 100% chance of a 25-basis-point hike at the December 8-9 FOMC meeting. The euro fell to a 1.5-year low against the dollar.

## Why it matters

Rate hike expectations lift the dollar, which tends to pressure dollar-denominated grain, oilseed and meal prices while making US exports less competitive abroad. A weaker euro and yen also shift import competition for feed products.
