US dollar goes quiet as the FOMC countdown begins via ForexLive

Trading today has been on the lackluster side as market participants await the FOMC.

The US dollar trade is crowded but — like with saw with the ECB — that might not mean a reversal is coming. For me, I think there's a good likelihood that the Fed offers a subtle hint that rate hikes aren't coming in June but mentioning lower inflation. Another USD-negative option would simply be to mention the US dollar as a potential headwind or negative factor for inflation.

A big level to watch might be 117.00 in USD/JPY there is some chatter about heavy stops below.
