The currency market reacted to the uptick in market\u2019s sentiment on Monday. The Fed\u2019s meeting and banking industry developments will be the main influences on the upcoming sessions.

On early Tuesday, the FOMC meeting gets started. The Fed is in a challenging situation. The market is pricing a 70% probability of a 25 basis points rate hike, with attention on the forward guidance and the wording of the statement.
