Comment:
The U.S. dollar edged higher in early European trade Wednesday, maintaining the overnight gains on raised geopolitical tensions and after Federal Reserve officials pointed to more rate hikes ahead. Data released Tuesday showed the number of vacancies across the U.S. fell more sharply than expected in June to its lowest level since September, an ominous precursor to Friday’s official employment report. However, this sign of a cooling U.S. labor market was not enough to persuade Fed policymakers that now was the time to ease back the central bank’s aggressive monetary policy tightening.
