Today

JPY - Word has it that Watanabe may have visited Washington DC to discuss joint FX intervention with US Treasury officials. That is because USD/JPY is expected to test a

USD - The dollar edged slightly lower against major currencies Tuesday, on the cusp of a two-day Federal Reserve meeting on interest rate policy. The Fed is expected to keep interest rates at 5.25 percent at its meeting, which ends Wednesday, but investors are awaiting the statement that will accompany the decision for clues on the direction of future policy. Most of them expect Hawkish statements from the Fed.
