Comment: The dollar edged higher in early European trading Thursday after hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve prompted traders to price in an earlier tightening of monetary policy. The dollar has been in a state of flux over the last couple of months, first rising after the June meeting of the Federal Reserve saw several members bring forward their timetable for interest rate hikes before slipping back after Chairman Jerome Powell stated last week that interest rate increases were still in the distance.
