Globally, Asian stocks edged up early after Wall Street indexes notched record highs, while the dollar was steady as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's policy decision later in the day for more clues on its tightening plans.
The Fed concludes a two-day meeting later on Wednesday, and is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged.
With a rate hike not in the picture this time, the focus will be on the Fed's statement, with markets looking for signs of when the central bank will begin paring its massive bond holdings and next raise rates. A statement is expected at 1800 GMT.
In the US, the S&P 500 climbed to an all-time high on Tuesday on a heavy day of corporate results highlighted by well-received reports from McDonald's and Caterpillar and gains for bank shares.
The Nasdaq also managed to set a record high despite declines in Google parent Alphabet after its results. Alphabet shares ended down 2.9 percent.
Shares of McDonald's rose 4.8 percent after the fast-food chain reported strong global sales. Caterpillar shares surged 5.9 percent after the heavy equipment maker raised its full-year outlook for the second time this year.
Those stocks spurred the Dow industrials, leaving the index close to record territory.
Back home in the currency market, the he Indian rupee opened at 64.42 to the dollar dollar, down from its previous close of 64.38 on Tuesday.
Pramit Brahmbhatt of Veracity said, "We have a neutral stance on the USD-INR pair in absence of any directional cues and expect it to trade in a range of 64.20-64.40 today."
Dhawal Dalal of Edelweiss AMC said, "We expect bond prices to consolidate ahead of the FoMC meeting outcome and keep an eye on the China front. We expect the 10-year benchmark bond yield to trade in the 6.40-6.45 percent range this week."The dollar languished near a 13-month low against a basket of currencies, with traders skeptical that this week's US Federal Reserve meeting would do much to alter the greenback's recent weak trend.
