The U.S. dollar continued its downward trend for a fourth consecutive day on Tuesday as traders remained vigilant ahead of potential coordinated currency interventions by the United States and Japan. This decline comes before Wednesday's pivotal Federal Reserve interest rate decision.

Geopolitical concerns and the unpredictable nature of President Donald Trump's policymaking have put significant pressure on the dollar this month. The dollar fell 0.48% against a basket of currencies, hovering near a multi-year low from September.

The yen has seen gains recently, sparking speculation of forthcoming rate checks from the U.S. and Japan. Despite no official confirmation, there have been reports suggesting dialogues between the U.S. and Japanese authorities, stirring investor anxieties over possible interventions.
