The dollar is stronger against a basket of currencies this morning following the release of the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes.
The minutes were more ‘hawkish’ than expected, revealing that officials were keen to tackle inflation risks through accelerating the tapering of the bond-buying programme and planning three tentative interest rate hikes.
Today, weekly jobless claims figures will be released ahead of the non-farm payrolls report tomorrow.
