The dollar index inched higher and was set for a fourth-consecutive weekly gain as investors braced for U.S. interest rates to be higher for longer after a set of strong U.S. economic data. | Reuters

“The dollar notching its fourth-consecutive week of gains highlights just how far the U-turn in the market narrative has gone as data this week continues to highlight strength in the U.S. economy and its underlying inflation drivers,” said Simon Harvey, head of FX Analysis at Monex.

The market is pricing U.S. rates to peak in July at 5.35 percent and remain above 5 percent until the end of the year, having walked back expectations of a deep rate cut this year.
