Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey hinted on Wednesday that the central bank was close to ending a prolonged policy of raising interest rates, easing worries about a cost-of-living crisis. «I think we are much nearer now to the top of the cycle,» Bailey told a panel of cross-party lawmakers gathered to question the BoE chief on the state of the UK economy with UK inflation the highest among G7 nations. «And I'm not therefore saying we're at the top of the cycle because we've got a meeting to come but I think we are much nearer to it,» he added. The pound dropped against the dollar and euro on the comments as traders bet that the BoE may already decide to pause hiking rates at a regular monetary policy meeting later this month.

My own forecast for September end is 83 per dollar, but there are a couple of more headwinds out there, apart from the dollar strength, namely the crude oil prices, which have surprised everybody on the upside. The rupee in near term could maintain a bit of weakening bias but we expect the RBI to remain present in the market to smooth out any volatility.”The dollar index has seen quite a bit of surge and is already very close to that 105 mark. Do you see more strength there? Our house view is that the dollar index could be at 105 by the end of this quarter. So, at least in the near term, we do not see significant upside, but let us be mindful that 105 is not a very easy level for any currencies in the emerging market space.
