US Dollar update
The US Dollar was losing traction on Tuesday with eyes on the Bank of Japan as investors expect the possible policy shift at the central bank that could end its so-called "yield curve control" in what would be a precursor to adopting a tighter monetary policy. At the time of writing, the DXY index is trading at 102.40 and is lower by some 0.15% but well off the lows of the day down at 101.937.
