"Expectations of higher US interest rates
have delayed the weakening of the US dollar. However,
the heavy reliance on foreign portfolio inflows, and
a seemingly reduced willingness from foreign central

of a near term Chinese Yuan revaluation are fading.
European currencies are still expected to rise further
before peaking some time in the second half of the
year.
