# US Dollar Gains as Fed Rate-Hike Expectations Intensify

> The dollar extended gains after hotter-than-expected October CPI data and hawkish Fed comments, with markets pricing a December 25 basis point hike. Traders were positioning ahead of the October PPI release, where a slowdown in the headline monthly rate to 0.4% was expected. USD/JPY tested 160.00 amid diverging Fed and Bank of Japan expectations.

## Why it matters
