TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The dollar steadied against a basket of major currencies on Wednesday as investors eyed a policy decision from the U.S. Federal Reserve later in the day, while New Zealand’s battered dollar surged on stronger-than-expected jobs data.

Later on Wednesday, the U.S. central bank is expected to leave interest rates unchanged. Investors will be watching for any new indications that the Fed will resume raising rates next month as expected, and the timing of any moves in 2018, but they do not expect the decision to produce a large market reaction.
