LONDON—The dollar rebounded from a 2–1/2 month low on Wednesday as the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting hinted that interest rates would likely remain restrictive for some time, even as the rate-hike cycle appeared to be over.

The Fed minutes showed the central bank would proceed “carefully” and that “all participants judged it appropriate to maintain” the current rate setting.
