The forex markets are rather steady in Asian session today. Dollar is paring some gains and trades slightly lower. But it remains the strongest one for the week together with Canadian Dollar. New Zealand Dollar, however, trades broadly lower as markets expect that RBNZ could be slightly dovish in the upcoming rate decision. Taking about central banks, RBA left cash rate unchanged at 1.50% as widely expected. The announcement is shrugged off by the Australian Dollar as it provides nothing new.
