Dollar weakens broadly in today's Asian session as markets await what could be the last Fed rate hike in the current cycle. Risk sentiment is on the downside, with stock selloff carrying over from the US to Asia. Despite this, the greenback sees no apparent support. Conversely, Yen benefits from cautious sentiment a decline in benchmark treasury yields. Oversold condition is also helping the Japanese currency slightly.
Dollar remains weak in early US session, despite strong ADP job data, seeing only modest gains the Australian and Canadian Dollars. However, the selloff remains contained, even against strong Yen and Swiss Franc. Traders are evidently holding their bets as they await FOMC rate decision. A 25bps hike to 5.00-5.25% is widely anticipated, and it is unlikely to surprise the market. The primary question is whether Chair Jerome Powell will explicitly indicate a pause following today's move.
