The dollar inched higher on Friday following a reading on U.S. consumer sentiment as investors sorted through a batch of comments from Federal Reserve officials, with the focus beginning to turn toward key inflation readings next week. The greenback pared declines and turned modestly higher after the University of Michigan's preliminary reading on consumer sentiment came in at 67.4 for May, a six-month low and below the 76.0 estimate of economists polled by Reuters. The dollar had weakened on Thursday after a higher than expected reading on initial jobless claims fueled expectations the labor market was loosening, adding to other recent data that indicated the overall economy was slowing.
Company Announces Quarterly Dividend Despite Net Loss
According to a report from Aflac, 89% of US workers feel "high levels of stress" at work. As inflation concerns continue and recent data from the April jobs report shows the yearly increase of wages was only 3.9%, the lowest since June 2021, Americans are feeling massive pressure. Aflac Chief Human Resources Officer Jeri Hawthorne sits down with Brad Smith on Wealth! to give insight into employee burnout and addressing the importance of mental health in the workplace. Hawthorne explains an interesting finding from the survey: "One of the things that we found was that more than half of the people that we surveyed, from the Aflac Workforces Report, said that they couldn't go one month without a paycheck. So when you look at inflation, when you look at the continuing rise of the price of services and goods, and you have people who can't go one month without a paycheck, that says to me that financial impacts and financial wellness are probably one of the biggest drivers of anxiety and concern for employees."

STORY: From a key reading of U.S. inflation to a possible interest rate cut in the UK these are the stories to watch in business and finance in the coming week.:: U.S. inflationU.S. inflation data due out May 15 is set to show consumer prices cooled last month after three straight months of hotter-than-expected readings.Economists polled by Reuters expect the consumer price index to have gained 0.3% in April.But any more evidence of sticky inflation could dash hopes of interest-rate cuts in the near future and reignite market volatility. :: Japan's economyFirst-quarter growth figures out Thursday will reveal whether the Japanese economy began 2024 on strong footing.But the BOJ's preference to keep monetary policy accommodative for now is unlikely to take the pressure off the yen, as interest rates elsewhere remain at multi-decade highs, squeezing households further as import costs rise.:: China's property sectorApril home price data on May 17 will be the next barometer of health for China's beleaguered property sector.The release comes alongside China's retail sales and urban unemployment rate figures due the same day and on the heels of disappointing May Day spending data.:: UK labor marketsThe Bank of England is expected to cut interest rates this year as inflation has eased, but it remains on alert for pay rises refueling price pressures ahead of fresh labor market data due on May 14.Traders see a good chance rates will fall in June. But the central bank might need more time and data to be sure that Britain has escaped a wage and price spiral.
