The yen remained the poor relation on the currency exchanges in Tokyo, as few sought to aggressively sell the dollar from near eight-month highs ahead of the Federal Open Markets Committee rate decision and Wednesday's release of the quarterly Tankan survey by the Bank of Japan. The yen spent much of the session around the Y126.00 level, as an early attempt at a rally petered out at Y125.80. The euro was little changed against the dollar ahead of the FOMC meeting.
