- The USD/JPY is trading steady above 147.50 after a quick dip into 147.15.
- The US Dollar is churning sideways ahead of the Fed's latest Meeting Minutes release.
- Greenback is paring away Tuesday's early declines.
The USD/JPY is pushing back into the 148.00 bid neighborhood after slipping to an intraday low of 147.15, declining from the day's opening bids near 148.40.
Market focus is tilting towards the Federal Reserve (Fed) and their latest Meeting Minutes, due at the end of the US trading session at 14:00 EST. A hawkish Fed could send jitters through the markets after last week's inflation figures pre-cooked rate cut expectations into investors' minds.
A lack of suitably dovish language from the Fed could throw markets for a loop.
US Home Sales will also complicate factors for investors as market participants lean consistently heavier into the "soft landing" narrative. US Existing Home Sales Change declined by 4.1% in October, accelerating towards the downside from last month's -2.2%, which was also revised downwards from 2.0%.
October's Existing Home Sales hit 3.7M, dipping past the forecast 3.9M forecast and shedding volume from September's 3.96M. The figure represents the lowest amount of already-built homes changing hands since 2010.
