Globally, the US dollar held gains on Tuesday as markets awaited signals, expected later this week, about the potential timing of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

The yen trimmed losses from a day earlier when worse-than-expected Japanese economic data stirred expectations that the government would ramp up stimulus.

The Aussie dollar edged lower after the release of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s minutes from its February meeting.

Trading was thin with many markets in Asia closed for the Lunar New Year holiday and following the President’s Day holiday in the US Key economic events lie later in the week, with minutes from the Fed’s last meeting and advance figures on US gross domestic product.

Moreover, oil prices, a key indicator of currency parity, were largely stable on Tuesday, as investors braced for nuclear talks between Iran and the US, and trilateral US-Ukraine-Russia peace talks, both taking place in Geneva.

Brent crude futures were down 10 cents, or 0.15%, at $68.55 a barrel at 1315 GMT, following a 1.33% gain on Monday.
