SINGAPORE (AFX-ASIA) - The dollar was firmer in late morning Asian trade but interest is thin with the Tokyo markets closed, dealers said. "There is not much interest in the market today. There is no clear direction," a dealer with a European bank said, adding that the market is awaiting the FOMC's next move after it shifted to a neutral from an easing bias. The Fed left its interest rates unchanged at 1.75 pct on Tuesday.
