# Dollar almost unchanged after reaching 19-month high, rate divergence in focus

> The dollar index held near 102.80 after reaching 102.88, its highest since April 2025, following strong US inflation data. Short-dated Treasury yields rose sharply as markets priced in further Federal Reserve hikes, with Governor Waller backing a quarter-point increase in December. The euro traded near $1.1085 after touching its lowest level in the session.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar makes dollar-priced grains, oilseeds and meals more expensive for importers, which can weigh on global demand and prices. Higher US rates also tighten financing for buyers and raise the cost of holding stocks.
