NEW YORK/MILAN, April 9 - The dollar was little changed on Tuesday, trading in narrow ranges, with investors cautious ahead of U.S. inflation data, even as the yen hovered near multi-decade lows, keeping traders on alert for any possible action from Japan to prop up its currency.

For 2024, the fed funds futures has priced in about 65 basis points in cuts, or less than three rate decreases of 25 bps each. He noted the dollar has not found much traction ahead of the CPI data and despite adjustments on the interest rate outlook. "After upside surprises, there is an understandable caution over a potential weaker print that would quickly see June rate cut expectations increase again," Derek Halpenny, head of research global markets at MUFG Bank, said.

In other currencies, the dollar slipped 0.1% to 151.715 yen , not far from a 34-year high of 151.975 yen hit last month as Japanese officials continued trying to talk up the currency."While a break of 152.00 may not trigger forex intervention immediately, we would see a strong chance of the Ministry of Finance acting to prevent a move to 155.00," said Jane Foley, senior forex strategist at RaboBank.
