US Dollar Strengthens on Inflation Data and Fed Rate Hike Expectations
The US dollar strengthened against major currencies, reaching near one-month highs, driven by stronger-than-expected October inflation data and hawkish Federal Reserve comments signaling potential interest rate hikes. Traders increased bets on a December rate increase, with some anticipating further hikes early next year. The Japanese yen weakened toward the 160-per-dollar mark, while the euro, pound, and other developed-market currencies declined. Market participants are closely watching upcoming economic data and Fed officials' remarks for further guidance on monetary policy.
