Yes,
it’s a huge session coming up from the US today, beginning at 8.30
am US Eastern time with inflation data and then the Federal Open
Market Committee (FOMC) statement, complete with an updated Summary
of Economic Projections (SEP), “dot plot”, at 2pm, with

yen pushing up the price of raw material imports, which
may weigh on consumption, and the broader economy, and further

in the PPI (although still firmly in deflation) gave the AUD a brief
and minor lift.

Across
major FX ranges were very small.

EUR/USD little changed:
