The dollar is stronger this morning following the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes, which were published yesterday.
Although the minutes showed a variety of opinions from Fed officials, a growing number suggested it would be appropriate to start reducing bond purchases this year. However, officials also stressed that this tapering would not signal an imminent interest rate hike. The FOMC also voted to keep interest rates the same.
Jobless claims figures will be released for the US later today.
