The US dollar is weakening against the Japanese yen and the euro. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) meeting on March 18-19 is eyed by investors for signs of a policy change. The BoJ is unlikely to raise rates but could signal an end to its yield curve control policy. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates in June due to a softer US labor market.
