During Wednesday's Asian trading session, the USD/JPY currency pair failed to stop its previous session losing streak and dropped to near two-week lows, below the mid-107.00 level, mainly due to the broad-based U.S. dollar weakness triggered by the possibility of a very dovish outlook from the Fed. On the other hand, the risk-on market sentiment undermining the safe-haven Japanese yen demand and contributed to the currency pair declines. As of writing, the USD/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 107.30 and consolidates in the range between the 107.28 - 107.88.

At the USD front, the broad-based U.S. dollar drew offers around the lowest since early-March as traders awaiting details from the U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting. It should be noted that the Fed will likely announce measures to control the recent rise in bond yields, which will likely push the dollar down further. Whereas, the U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, was bearish by 0.1% at 96.233, around levels not seen since early March.
