As expected, the Bank of Japan kept its interest rate unchanged at -0.1 percent and maintained the purchase of government bonds so that the 10-year JGB yield remained at zero percent. After the decision, the yen changed little against its major rivals.

The yen was trading at 110.19 against the greenback, 120.17 against the franc, 131.38 against the euro and 153.51 against the pound around 11:40 pm ET.
