The US dollar under pressure as investors torn between the Fed's hawkish tone and the support for riskier currencies driven by China's reopening.
Fed funds futures pricing shows the benchmark U.S. interest rate will peak just below 5% in May or June, before being cut back a little bit in the second half of 2023.
The yen on the other side remains bid as traders expect this year will be one of policy tightening in Japan.
