The dollar was steady in early Asian trading as US-China trade talks entered a second day, with investors focused on this week's Federal Reserve policy decision. The key question for investors this week is whether Fed officials will push back against market bets on a series of interest-rate cuts extending into next year. A quarter-point reduction is seen as a sure thing when the Fed announces its policy decision Wednesday, with a small potential for a half-point move amid signs US job growth is slowing rapidly. We break down the forces driving Fed policy with Adam Coons, Chief Investment Officer at Winthrop Capital Management.

The greenback was mixed against major currencies and US equity-index futures were little changed after the benchmark S&P 500 closed flat on Friday. Asian contracts signaled declines at the open, while Japan's markets are closed for a holiday. In addition to the Fed's decision on Wednesday, the Banks of Canada, England, and Japan are also set to announce policy decisions this week. We get more perspective on the week's monetary policy decisions from Louise Loo, Lead Economist at Oxford Economics. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Annabelle Droulers on The Asia Trade.
