Bank of Israel Governor David Klein has put the brakes, at least temporarily, on the dollar\'s steep climb compared to the shekel. Following his terse announcement this afternoon implying that interest rates might have to be raised again in light of the developments, the representative rate began to fall slightly. The dollar closed today at 4.72 shekels, half-a-percent lower than yesterday\'s all-time high rate of 4.774, which itself was over 1.6% higher than the day before. The dollar has swollen in value by some 12% since interest rates were lowered last month.
