LONDON (Reuters) – The dollar stood just below a four-month peak against major peers on Thursday as currency traders digested data from the previous day showing U.S. inflation may be coming off the boil.<\/p>

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six rivals, was little changed at 92.907, after edging 0.2% lower on Wednesday following the report of easing consumer price growth.<\/p>\n

The greenback has broadly strengthened since mid-June – hitting its highest since April 1 at 93.195 prior to Wednesday\u2019s data – when the U.S. Federal Reserve flagged it was gearing up for sooner-than-expected rate hikes and amid evidence the release of pent-up demand in a rebounding economy was fuelling price rises.<\/p>\n

Price increases slowed in July, although inflation overall remains historically high. Inflation also eased in some areas where Fed policymakers had indicated price pressures would likely prove temporary, such as used cars.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat makes it more likely that inflation will ease back to the 2% target by itself and less likely that the Fed will have to hike interest rates more aggressively than so far assumed,\u201d currency analysts at Commerzbank said in a note, adding producer price data due later Thursday was likely to confirm the trend.<\/p>\n

Other analysts cautioned the dollar\u2019s dip could be short-lived.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther slippage in coming days (for the dollar is) likely, but it\u2019s unlikely to develop into anything meaningful,\u201d Westpac strategists wrote in a client note.<\/p>\n

The dollar index \u201cshould continue to find support in the 91.5-92.0 area\u201d and \u201ccould see new highs beyond 93.50,\u201d when taper talk gathers momentum later this quarter, they wrote.<\/p>\n

The euro was flat versus the dollar at $1.17390, after recovering from a four-month low of $1.1706 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The dollar was also broadly unchanged against the yen at 110.405 yen, after pulling back from a five-week high of 110.80 overnight.<\/p>\n
