Currency
The U.S. dollar hovered near the middle of its recent range against major peers on Tuesday as traders looked to incumbent Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s nomination hearing later in the day for new clues on the timing and pace of policy normalisation.

The dollar was little changed at 115.23 yen after bouncing off a one-week low of 115.045 overnight. The euro was about flat at $1.13325, stuck in the middle of its trading range since mid-November. Sterling was stable at $1.35825 after easing back from Monday’s two-month high of $1.36025.

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index fell 0.28%. Chinese mainland shares bucked the downward trend and inched higher: The Shenzhen component rose 0.12%. ASX 200 in Australia fell 0.7%
