0328 GMT - USD/JPY rises after the Bank of Japan lowers its projections for inflation and growth in the coming years amid trade uncertainty, stoking expectations that the central bank will refrain from raising rates further for the time being. USD/JPY rises to 143.41 from 143.06 prior to the meeting outcome. The BOJ kept its policy rate unchanged on Thursday. The Tokyo stock market is on lunch break but Nikkei futures extended their gains on a weaker yen after the BOJ announcement and are now up 0.8% at 36310, compared with up 0.6% prior. Investors will be focusing on BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda's press conference later in the day for any signs of policy direction. (kosaku.narioka@wsj.com; @kosakunarioka)
