# Evening Report | The dollar's on a tear

> The US dollar rallied against major currencies this week to its highest level since April 2026, after a hotter-than-expected October consumer price index reading. The 2-year Treasury yield rose nearly 30 basis points to 4.86% over the week, and markets now expect a quarter-point Fed rate hike in December. Corn and soybean futures received support from a trio of flash sales and solid weekly export transactions.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar makes US grain and soymeal less competitive on world markets and can cap export demand, a headwind for feed-ingredient prices. Grain futures had been heavily oversold, so the dollar move is a key risk to any recovery.
