Dollar exchange rate on June 11. |
The Fed is expected to keep interest rates steady at its meeting on June 13 and 14, but a rate hike in July is still seen as possible, as inflation exceeds its 2% target. Data due on June 13 will show that headline inflation rose at an annual rate of 4.1% in May, while core inflation rose 5.3%.
The US dollar has been trading mostly in a narrow range, as investors await clearer signals on the strength of the economy and inflation trends.
Data released on June 9 showed that the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose to its highest level in more than 1.5 years last week. Meanwhile, May jobs data, released late last week, showed employers added 339,000 jobs, exceeding expectations, but the unemployment rate also rose to a seven-month high of 3.7%.
“This spike in jobless claims is near a two-year high and is being viewed by markets as a clear signal that the US economy is weakening and the Fed will be more cautious about raising interest rates,” said David Stritch, strategist at CaxtonFX.
In contrast, the euro fell 0.30% against the dollar to $1.0749. The European Central Bank is expected to raise eurozone interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.50% at its upcoming meeting.
