Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said on Tuesday that rates should be kept higher for longer due to volatile inflation.
According to CME's FedWatch Tool, markets currently estimate that US borrowing costs will be cut in September with a 65% probability.
Fed officials Philip Jefferson, Susan Collins and Lisa Cook will speak on Wednesday. Their hawkish comments may strengthen the dollar. Traders will also keep a close eye on the Consumer Sentiment Index data released by the University of Michigan on Friday.
Meanwhile, the European currency has declined on Wednesday after the macroeconomic data from Germany have been released.
