The US dollar declined at the beginning of European trading on Friday, but remains close to the high levels of the previous session after the publication of US inflation data raised the prospect of another interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve this year.
As of 03:10 eastern time (07:10 GMT), the dollar index, which tracks its exchange rate against a basket of 6 other currencies, was trading 0.1% lower at 106.222, just below Thursday's high of 106.60, when the index registered the largest one-day percentage jump since March.
The US consumer price index has increased the chances of a December Fed rate hike
According to data received on Thursday, the core consumer price index in the United States rose faster than expected in September, which may complicate the adoption of decisions by the US Federal Reserve System aimed at curbing rising inflation.
The consumer price index rose by 3.7% year—on-year, which corresponds to the growth rate in August, and on a monthly basis - by 0.4% more than predicted. Economists had expected 3.6% and 0.3%.
These data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may not have finished tightening monetary policy yet, which led to a rise in the dollar, although many officials note that the recent rise in treasury yields reduces the need for further tightening of financial conditions.
