0740 GMT - The dollar edges higher as investors digest Wednesday's Federal Reserve interest rate decision. The Fed left rates unchanged, as widely anticipated, but two officials preferred to raise rates. The dollar briefly fell during Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's press conference as markets perceived his lack of commitment to a December rate rise as a "dovish" signal, Danske Bank's Jesper Fjarstedt says in a note. "We don't necessarily agree with this interpretation, though," he says. "Warsh underscored that the economy is still looking strong, and despite the recent tightening of financial conditions, the case for resuming hikes in December is still intact." The DXY dollar index trades rises 0.1% to 102.252.
