The  and  both strengthened slightly in Asian trade after logging some overnight losses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But the greenback still retained a bulk of recent gains, with focus squarely on the Fed. While the central bank is expected to keep rates on hold, it is also likely to reiterate its higher-for-longer stance on interest rates- a scenario that bodes well for the dollar and poorly for risk-driven Asian currencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Yen tumbles as BOJ maintains dovish course<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The  slid 0.6%, crossing 150 once again after the BOJ , and only made minimal changes to its yield curve control (YCC) policy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The central bank said it will allow some more flexibility in its YCC, potentially letting bond yields move above their 1% cap.

Most Southeast Asian units also clocked heavy losses, with the  losing 0.2%.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The  was among the few outliers for the day, trading flat as pressure from the dollar was offset by a decline in oil prices, which benefited the rupee.
