The dollar inched higher on Wednesday as Fed officials continue to signal they are in no rush to kick off a rate cut cycle. A jump in inflation to a six-month high sent the Aussie dollar higher.
Consumer prices rose 4% last month from a year earlier in Australia, compared with the 3.8% rate expected for May by economists. That was propelled in part by automotive fuel price.
The RBA has said it won’t hesitate to raise its key interest rate if it loses confidence that inflation can fall back within its 2%-3% target by the end of next year.
