Dollar sticks near 10-month high, keeping heat on yen

Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari was one among several Fed voices to caution markets on the possibility of more hikes, saying on Wednesday that ample evidence of ongoing economic strength meant that more tightening might be in the pipeline. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak later on Thursday, giving markets further clues into the future path of U.S. monetary policy. The Fed officials' remarks come as economic data out of the U.S. continues to surprise with its strength, defying investor expectations for a slowdown.
