US dollar edges higher in the aftermath of the FOMC minutes

  • Yields climb to the highs of the day

The Fed minutes didn't contain any big surprises. On the dovish side, there was no mention of 100 basis points. On the hawkish side, they highlighted a resolve not to let inflation expectations become entrenched.

The dollar is higher in the aftermath as yields climb to new highs. The 2-year is now up 14 bps to 2.95% after falling to 2.76% at the start of US trade. That's quite a swing and it's helping to underpin USD/JPY, which is now having a look at 136.00, which was the high after the ISM services data.
