SINGAPORE—The dollar inched higher ahead of U.S. inflation data due later on Thursday, while cryptocurrencies remained under pressure after crypto exchange Binance scrapped plans to rescue its ailing rival FTX.

The greenback surged on Wednesday against its peers but later pared some of those gains, with investors also digesting the U.S. midterm election results.
