Dollar gauge hits a one-month high after Fed minutes

The ICE U.S. Dollar Index DXY, +0.06% —a measure of the dollar against a basket of six major currencies—was up 0.6% at 95.09, a four-week high.

“It was puzzling to us that markets had become quiet complacent, not pricing in any possibility of a hike at the June meeting. So, clearly investors are now reassessing chances that the Fed might raise rates sooner than expected,” said Win Thin, global head of emerging market currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman.

The euro EURUSD, -0.0178% which was already weaker, fell further to trade at $1.1225 late in New York Trade compared with $1.1314 late Tuesday.

The dollar USDJPY, +0.03%  rose to ¥109.94 on Wednesday compared with the ¥109.14 late Tuesday in New York.
