U.S. second-quarter growth was revised slightly higher on Thursday, and the focus Friday will be on the release of the core personal consumption expenditures price index, the inflation measure the Federal Reserve uses to set policy.

This is expected to rise 0.2% in August and 3.6% year over year, unchanged on an annual basis from July, which was the highest level since May 1991.

Elsewhere, USD/CZK traded flat at 21.8660, after the crown posted sharp gains on Thursday on the back of the Czech National Bank hiking interest rates by 75 basis points, its biggest interest rate hike since 1997, after a spike of inflation.

The increase was larger than the already big 50-basis point move that markets had priced in. It lifted the bank’s two-week repo rate to 1.50%.
