Investing.com– The U.S. dollar steadied on Wednesday, retaining a bulk of its overnight gains after strong consumer inflation data furthered bets on higher-for-longer rates, while the British pound tread water before key GDP data.

Strength in the dollar kept most other G7 currencies trading largely rangebound, with the , and moving less than 0.1% in either direction.

But the saw some strength amid continued focus on a policy shift by the Bank of Japan.

GBP rangebound with data barrage in focus

The steadied on Wednesday at about 1.2792 against the dollar, in anticipation of several key economic readings.

data, and for January are all due later in the session, and are expected to offer more cues on the British economy, as it grapples with sluggish growth.

The rose 0.3% on Wednesday, as signs of incoming wage hikes in Japan drummed up expectations for an imminent interest rate hike from the Bank of Japan. 

Media reports showed Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:) (TYO:), one of Japan’s biggest employers, had agreed to steep wage hikes with a labor union. Other employers also appeared to have followed suit.

Increased wages, coupled with recent, sticky inflation indicators, give the BOJ more impetus to end its negative interest rates and yield curve control policy. 

Reuters reported that the BOJ was gearing up to signal how it will conduct bond purchases after ending its ultra-dovish policies. 

The BOJ is set to , and is pipped to either raise interest rates then or during a late-April meeting. Higher rates bode well for the yen, which was battered by rising U.S. rates over the past two years.
