The US Dollar Index rose past 103.00 to new 18-month highs as markets increasingly priced in another Federal Reserve rate hike at the December meeting. EUR/USD fell toward 1.1050, GBP/USD dropped to multi-week lows near 1.3200, and USD/JPY neared 160.00.
A stronger dollar makes dollar-priced grains, oilseeds and meals more expensive for non-US buyers and tends to pressure US commodity prices. Rising Fed hike expectations also raise financing costs for feed importers and storage.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
