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.
- The BOJ takes center stage amid swirling speculation that the dovish central bank could finally end years of ultra-easy policy.
- 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.

- A new bill with support from Biden and bipartisan agreement aims to prevent a government shutdown and prohibit funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

- The US has been UNRWA’s largest donor, and a ban would almost certainly lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
- De-funding of UNRWA has been paused by some Western countries, led by the US, despite UNRWA denying allegations of having ties to Hamas.

Quick Glance: Swiss National Bank Surprises with Rate Cut
- The Swiss National Bank cut its main interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.50%, becoming the first major central bank to ease tighter monetary policy aimed at tackling inflation.
- The franc dropped following the decision, boosting the euro to its highest level against the Swiss currency since mid-July last year, with Swiss government bond yields also falling.

- The decision was widely perceived as a surprise, leading to speculation about further rate cuts in June and September, as inflation forecasts were substantially revised downwards.
