Japanese yen rebounds against dollar after BoJ stands pat on policy
The yen rebounded against the US dollar on Wednesday after the Bank of Japan stood pat on monetary policy, as speculators who had anticipated
more easing covered their short yen positions. The BoJ refrained from expanding its bond-buying stimulus programme, opting instead to expand loan schemes aimed at boosting lending. It also cut its inflation forecast to 1.0 percent from 1.7 percent in the wake of slumping oil prices. The dollar was down 0.9 per cent at 117.76 yen, moving back towards a one-month trough of 115.85 set recently. It had risen as far as 118.87 overnight after investors sold the Japanese currency as a precautionary move in case the BOJ eased.
The euro fell 0.7 percent to 136.17 yen and back towards a three-month
low of 134.70 touched on Friday.
