The U.S. dollar gained in Europe Thursday, climbing to a two-month high on rising fears of a U.S. default as Fitch threatens a rating downgrade. At 02:55 ET (06:55 GMT), the Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, rose 0.2% to 103.955, just below the 104.05 overnight peak, the highest level since mid-March. The dollar’s safe haven status has meant that it has benefited from the lack of progress in the talks to lift the U.S. government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, with the early-June deadline that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said is when it’s “highly likely” that her department will run out of money drawing nearer.

While talks between both political parties continue over the lifting of the U.S. government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, any progress seems to be hard won and there are few signs of a deal being reached anytime soon.

U.S. President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ended discussions late Monday with no agreement on how to raise the U.S. government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added to the urgency of the situation by stating that it’s now “highly likely” that her department will run out of sufficient cash in early June.

The U.S. dollar edged lower in early European trade Monday amid uncertainty surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations and after dovish comments from Fed chair Jerome Powell. The dollar received a blow late last week as negotiations over the potential raising of the U.S. debt ceiling, and thus avoiding a very damaging default, suddenly broke down with Republicans walking out of the meeting. U.S. President Joe Biden and House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy are set to meet later Monday, but compromises will have to be made and thus more brinkmanship is to be expected ahead of early June, when the Treasury is seen running out of money.

The dollar index is on course to record gains of just under 1% this week as news of constructive talks to end the current debt ceiling impasse in Washington raised optimism that a deal can be reached, thus avoiding a damaging debt default. This has put the spotlight firmly back on the Federal Reserve and what it will decide over future interest rate moves.

The U.S. dollar rose in early European trade Thursday as negotiations to end the debt ceiling standoff in Washington have yet to result in a deal, while more Fed officials are due. President Joe Biden and top U.S. congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy have agreed to negotiate directly over the raising of the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, after a months-long standoff. This has raised optimism that a deal can be reached to avoid a damaging debt default, but a cautious air has tempered risk-taking.

The main parties are expected to meet once more later Tuesday, with President Joe Biden expressing confidence a deal can be done, but Republican House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy said on Monday that the two sides were still far apart.
