“There may be a few more hikes to come but we are definitely reaching the end” of the cycle, Thu Ha Chow, head of fixed income for Asia at Robeco in Singapore, said on Bloomberg Television. “We’ve got through this year without a very big crack in the US economy, and I think that should give other central banks some confidence” in addressing above-target inflation, she said.
News that a Chinese iron-ore buying agency was in talks with global miners supported shares in BHP Group Limited and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. Major currencies traded in narrow ranges.
