Dollar steady ahead of Fed minutes, sterling gains on CPI release
The U.S. dollar traded calmly Wednesday ahead of the release of the minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting, while sterling gained as inflation fell by less than expected in April. The dollar is struggling to move in any meaningful fashion as traders await the release of the minutes from the last Fed meeting, searching for more cues on the likely path of U.S. interest rates towards the end of the year. Last week’s soft-than-expected consumer inflation data raised hopes of rate cuts in a reasonably short time, but a series of Fed officials have continued to call for policy caution.

Dollar steady; Fed speakers could provide impetus
The U.S. dollar traded in a tight range Tuesday, steadying as traders looked for new clues over the expected timing and extent of Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. The dollar is basically steady Tuesday, but has drifted higher so far this week after several Fed officials called for continued policy caution, even after data last week showed an easing in consumer price pressures in April. Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said on Monday that it was too early to tell if the slowdown is "long lasting," and Vice Chair Michael Barr noted that restrictive policy needs more time, dulling hopes for early cuts.

Dollar steadies ahead of FOMC minutes, a deluge of Fed speakers
The U.S. dollar traded in a steady fashion Monday, at the start of a new week that is set to provide more clues over the future path of U.S. interest rates. The dollar was hit last week after a slowdown in U.S. inflation lifted the likelihood of interest rates cut by the Federal Reserve this year. There was something of a recovery as several Fed officials, specifically members of the bank’s rate-setting committee, said that they needed much more confidence that inflation was coming down, beyond some easing inflation in April.
