The dollar was on the front foot on Thursday after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s July meeting pointed to US interest rates staying higher for longer to bring down inflation.

The greenback rose against the yen and sterling and was steady on the euro.

The Australian dollar fell 1.2% overnight and on Thursday hovered at $0.6930, just above Wednesday’s one-week low of $0.6912 and the 50-day moving average at $0.6923.The New Zealand dollar also fell, losing nearly 1% to unwind an initial jump after the central bank hiked interest rates and steepened its projected rate-hike track.

“Once a sufficiently restrictive level has been reached, they are going to stick to that level for some time,” Rabobank strategist Philip Marey said in a note to clients.Traders see about a 36% chance of a third consecutive 75 basis point Federal Reserve rate hike in September, and expect rates to hit a peak around 3.7% by March, and to hover around there until later in 2023.
