WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - The U.S. dollar was higher against its most major counterparts in the New York session on Tuesday, as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Wednesday.
The Fed began its two-day policy meeting today and ends on Wednesday.
The Fed is widely expected to leave its key interest rate at 4.25% to 4.5%.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to hold a press conference following the announcement, and investors await clues on the rate cut path.
