EUR/USD Flat, Waiting for FOMC Decision

EUR/USD was flat today as traders were reluctant to act ahead of tomorrow’s policy announcement from the Federal Reserve.

CAD Little Changed vs. USD Falls vs. Other Majors

The Canadian dollar was flat against its US counterpart on Monday and remained little changed during Tuesday’s trading.
