During today's Asian trading, the US dollar rose slightly against the euro, and fell against the yen after the results of the Federal reserve meeting (Fed) and on the eve of the European Central Bank (ECB) decision on the rate.
The ICE Dollar index, which shows the value of the us dollar against six major world currencies, fell by 0.03% compared to the previous day.
Yesterday, the Fed kept the interest rate in the range of 0% to 0.25% per annum. The FOMC decision coincided with the forecasts of economists and market participants. It was adopted by all ten members of the Committee unanimously.
Now traders are waiting for the results of the ECB meeting, which will be announced later on Thursday.
