# Euro edges up versus dollar after ECB holds rates - CNA

> The euro edged up against the dollar after the ECB held rates. The dollar index fell 0.14% to 101.98, and the dollar weakened against the Swiss franc. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said inflation can return to 2% without major growth damage, and markets still price a high chance of a December Fed rate hike.
