The dollar fell against a basket of major currencies on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve cut its policy rate by a quarter point to 1.50%-1.75%, its third cut this year. The Fed also dropped its 'will act as appropriate' language, which had been read as a signal of further cuts.
The dollar index rose to 98.00 as Powell spoke, then retraced to about 97.53.
A softer dollar tends to support dollar-denominated grain and oilseed prices and can improve export competitiveness for US feed ingredients. The removal of easing language reduces expectations of further cuts, which limits the currency's downside.
