The dollar traded sideways on Tuesday as investors await a slew of central bank meetings this week. The yen hovered near a 10-month low due to Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy.
The BOJ will likely opt to overlook forex markets and bore investors again despite Kazuo Ueda’s latest remark that policy normalisation could get underway if inflation target is within reach.
The RBA considered a 25 bps interest rate hike before eventually deciding to adopt a wait-and-see approach, its September meeting minutes showed. But the Australian dollar was not impressed.
