Market sentiment leans towards a rate pause, shifting focus to the US central bank’s forward guidance.
The US dollar index remained flat at 105.13 as traders looked ahead to the US Federal Reserve’s rate announcement.
Markets expect the Fed will almost certainly keep rates on hold at 5.25% to 5.50%, putting the focus on the central bank’s forward guidance. Speculation increased about a possible sooner-than-expected exit from the Bank of Japan’s ultra-loose policy, but the central bank will most likely keep interest rates ultra-low on Friday and reassure markets that monetary stimulus will stay for the time being amid economic uncertainty.
