The post US Dollar extends losses ahead of Fed decision as Middle East tensions escalate appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Here is what you need to know for Wednesday, March 18: The US Dollar (USD) lost its firmness and is now on a two-day losing spree. The Greenback initially fell because investors were cautious over the Middle East war and Wednesday’s Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.
