“I am watching the U.S. dollar ahead of the widely anticipated Federal Reserve rate cut,” said Cole Raisbeck, commodities broker with Kluis Commodity Advisors. “A weaker dollar could make U.S. commodities more competitive for foreign buyers, potentially boosting already strong corn exports and supporting soybean exports amid China’s absence.”
Naomi Blohm, senior market advisor with Total Farm Marketing, said it is “widely expected” the Fed will announce a 0.25 percentage point cut to the federal funds rate later today, which influences interest rates throughout the economy.
