The Japanese yen traded at 155.95 yen against the US dollar, its highest level in 11 days.

There are suspicions that Japanese authorities intervened to support the dollar after the yuan breached the $160 level against the dollar on Monday, hitting a new 34-year low.

Japanese authorities have repeatedly warned against the yen's “excessive” moves, but have yet to issue an official statement about support measures taken to encourage the yen's strength.

Japanese stocks fell on the day, with the Nikkei Stock Average dropping 0.3%.

Jeffrey Gundlach, CEO of DoubleLine Capital, said Wednesday that he expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates only once this year.

“Inflation rates clearly lack progress. [Fed Chair Jerome Powell] So we're going to rely on one rate cut,” he said on CNBC's “Closing Bell,” adding that he doesn't expect a rate cut to occur in June.

Gundlach's comments came after the Fed ultimately left interest rates unchanged. Chairman Powell said at a press conference after the policy decision, “I don't think it's likely that the next policy rate decision will be a rate hike.I would say it's unlikely.''
