Dollar retreats with traders on Fed watch; RBA hike boosts Aussie
The U.S. dollar retreated in early European trade Tuesday, while the Australian dollar soared after the RBA hiked interest rates once more in its fight against elevated inflation.

Friday’s jobs report only muddied the waters, as the blowout payrolls number suggested room for the Fed to hike once more but the unemployment rate rose and the slowdown in the growth of average wages pointed in the other direction.

Debt markets, jitters in the regional banking industry that lends to developers and longer construction times are all affecting the pool of hotel rooms available, executives said at the NYU International Hospitality Industry Investment Conference.
