The greenback rebounded in early U.S. trading and added to gains after St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said the U.S. central bank needs toraise interest rates quite a bitfurther and then hold them there throughout next year and into 2024 to gain control of inflation and bring it back toward the Fed’s 2% goal.

The dollar index has fallen to 106.65 from a 20-year high of 114.78 on Sept. 28 on expectations that its rally may have been over stretched and as the Fed looks to slow its pace of rate increases.
