Investing.com – The U.S. dollar stabilized in early European trade Friday, but is on course to record strong quarterly gains as traders anticipate the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates further as the year progresses.<\/p>\n

At 02:00 ET (06:00 GMT), the , which tracks the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, traded marginally lower at 102.980, but is heading for a gain of about 0.7% in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Powell points to further hikes<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Fed Chair Jerome Powell has been pretty clear over the last few weeks, including at the European Central Bank\u2019s annual gathering in Portugal earlier this week, that the U.S. central bank is likely to resume its rate-hiking cycle after pausing in June.<\/p>\n

Data released on Thursday showed that the grew much more than initially thought in the first quarter, while the data indicated a still strong labor market.<\/p>\n

\u201cCentral bank communication at this week’s Sintra conference in Portugal has stayed pretty hawkish. The core message seems to be that low unemployment rates have allowed economies to withstand large tightening cycles reasonably well, meaning that inflation has not fallen as much as expected,\u201d said analysts at ING, in a note.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpectations for the duration and terminal rates for tightening cycles are being revised higher. This is most credibly being done in the U.S., where the economy appears to be outperforming.\u201d<\/p>\n

The focus now falls later Friday on the release of the , the Fed\u2019s favorite gauge of inflation, which is expected to have remained steady in May from the prior month, pressuring the Fed into keeping rates high to curb sticky inflation.<\/p>\n

Eurozone June CPI due<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Back in Europe, rose 0.1% to 1.0874, ahead of the release of the June for the eurozone as a whole.<\/p>\n

This is expected to fall to 5.6% in June from 6.1% in May, but rose by much more than expected in June, and this creates the possibility of an upside surprise given the dominance of the German economy.<\/p>\n

European Central Bank President has largely cemented expectations earlier this week for a ninth consecutive rise in interest rates in July, and this hawkish tone is set to prompt gains of roughly 1.7% for the euro against the dollar this month.<\/p>\n

U.K. GDP edges higher<\/strong><\/h2>\n

rose 0.2% to 1.2633, with sterling on course for a 1.4% monthly gain despite first quarter growing just 0.1% on the quarter.<\/p>\n

However, despite this weak growth, traders continue to price in more rate hikes from the as the country’s rate remained at 8.7% in May, the highest of any major advanced economy.<\/p>\n

Yen heads for hefty quarterly loss<\/strong><\/h2>\n

fell 0.1% to 144.64, retreating after reaching a high of 145.07 in early Asia trade, its lowest in over seven months, but still heading for a quarterly loss of more than 8%.<\/p>\n

Data on Friday showed rose 3.2% in June from a year earlier, once more above the Bank of Japan’s 2% target, but new Governor Kazuo Ueda has stated that the central bank will maintain its accommodative monetary policy for some time yet.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the risk-sensitive rose 0.2% to 0.6629 amid speculation that the will hike rates next week to curb sticky inflation, while edged lower to 7.2521 after softer-than-expected Chinese data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
