The U.S. dollar was lower against its most major opponents in the Asian session on Thursday, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in line with expectations and eased concerns about a more aggressive move at the upcoming meetings.
The Fed raised the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 0.75 to 1.0 percent and signaled that similar moves would be appropriate for the next couple of meetings.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell rejected the possibility of a 75 basis point rate hike at the coming meetings, in a sign that the central bank is not pursuing an aggressive tightening cycle to combat inflation.
"There is a broad sense within the committee that additional 50 bps should be at the table for the next couple of meetings," Powell said.
The central bank also outlined a plan to reduce its balance sheet, initially by $47.5 billion a month starting in June, but stepping up the pace to $95 billion a month after three months.

The greenback remained lower against the yen, at 128.75. On the downside, 127.00 is likely seen as the next support level.

The greenback is seen finding support around 0.74 against the aussie, 0.68 against the kiwi and 1.24 against the loonie.
