# U.S. dollar eyes biggest weekly gain since September as inflation boosts Fed rate

> The US dollar index climbed to 103.41, a 19-month high, and was on track for its strongest week since mid-September. The rally followed a strong October jobs report with 165k payrolls and hotter-than-expected CPI, which lifted expectations of a Fed rate hike. The dollar index gained 1.1% for the week.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar and rising US rate expectations make dollar-denominated grain and oilseed purchases more expensive for importers, which can soften export demand and pressure US feed commodity prices.
