Comment:
The U.S. dollar edged lower in early European trade Thursday after the U.S. inflation release, while the euro climbed from recent lows ahead of the European Central Bank’s eagerly-awaited rate-setting meeting.
However, expectations have since moved more towards a tenth consecutive interest rate hike after a Reuters report, released earlier this week, indicated that the ECB policymakers expect inflation in the 20-nation eurozone to remain above 3% next year. This is well above its 2% medium-term target.
