Quick Glance: Yen Holds Ground Ahead of BOJ Decision; Dollar Surges
- The yen dwindled near the 150 per dollar level but held its ground ahead of a pivotal policy decision from the Bank of Japan (BOJ), while the U.S. dollar towered over its peers.

- Expectations are for the RBA to keep rates on hold later on Tuesday, with the resurgent U.S. dollar weighing on the Australian dollar.
- The dollar rose against a basket of currencies after touching a roughly two-week high, and the adjustment of expectations for Fed rate cuts this year has halted the dollar's decline.
