The dollar has settled off the highs it saw in the wake of the FOMC minutes release yesterday, which showed members to be contemplating the impact of the tax cut, which was seen as having scope to raise consumption and capex. USD-JPY gave back of half of its post-FOMC minutes gains in declining to around 112.50. A peak was logged at 112.77 before Japanese corporate selling after the Tokyo fixing put a cap on the pairing. EUR-USD settled to a chop in the lower portion of the 1.20s after logging a low of 1.2001 yesterday.
