At the Fed front, the central bank will likely keep interest rates unchanged at a record low and expected to indicate a sharp contraction in the economic activity this year and near-zero interest rates for a few years. However, the reason for the sharp contraction in the economic activity could be attributed to the pandemic, which has put the U.S. and the global economy into recession while the market has already priced in all situations. Therefore, the dismal predictions might not be able to weaken the U.S. dollar.

At the USD front, the broad-based U.S. dollar remains pressured near the lowest since early-March as traders awaiting details from the U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting, which is scheduled to happen later in the day. It should be noted that the Fed can announce measures to control the recent increase in bond yields, which will likely push the dollar down further. Whereas, the U.S. Dollar Index that tracks the greenback against a basket of other currencies moved slightly by 0.01% to 96.332 by 11:36 PM ET (4:36 AM GMT).
