Red hot inflation propels US dollar higher.
“Federal Reserve July policy meeting minutes restructure market’s view towards the greenback.”
US dollar climbed to three-weeks high as latest meeting minutes reaffirms the market with possibly the longest streak of high inflation. In the minutes, Federal Reserve highlighted last month’s inflation data shows “little evidence” of easing. While the minutes signaled eventual slowdown in rate hike pace, Fed is expected to keep it at high level until inflationary pressure is under control. This raises opportunity cost of holding other assets which pays lower rate of return as compared to US dollar.
