U.S. Dollar Advances After Fed Minutes
(RTTNews) - The U.S. dollar strengthened against its major counterparts in the New York session on Wednesday, following the release of the Federal Reserve's minutes from the October meeting.
The minutes showed that most policymakers suggested that a reduction in December would be irrelevant due to persistent inflation.
Fed officials stressed that monetary policy is not on a preset course.
The chances of a rate cut in December fell after the release of the minutes.
