# Euro slides to 17-month low, hit by rates and inflation mix

> The dollar rose to a 17-month high against the euro as a global bond selloff pushed US and European yields higher, with the US 10-year yield at its highest since 2002. The euro fell below $1.1215 for the first time since May 2025 and declined nearly 2.5% in September. Higher oil prices fed inflation concerns, and French bond weakness added pressure.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar and higher US yields tend to weigh on dollar-priced grains and soybean products, while a weaker euro can make EU feed supplies cheaper to import. Higher energy costs also raise farm and freight expenses.
