The Japanese yen weakened after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) decided to maintain its key policy settings, including sticking with negative interest rates. The decision was critical and highly anticipated by the market, causing the yen to cede some ground ahead of the announcement. The dollar, on the other hand, was seen adrift. Following the BOJ's decision, the dollar-yen exchange rate rose over 0.4%. Asian stocks were trading in a cautious mood ahead of the BOJ's decision, but the Nikkei made gains after the announcement.
