Oct 30
0336 GMT - USD/JPY rises after the Bank of Japan keeps its policy rate unchanged despite persistently high inflation in the economy. The central bank says economic uncertainty remains high, including the impact of trade policies. Two board members, though, proposed a rate increase, which was defeated by a majority. USD/JPY is now at 153.06, compared with 152.18 prior to the outcome. As the yen weakens, the Nikkei Stock Average extends gains, now up 0.3% at 51477.39. Investors will be focusing on BOJ Gov. Kazuo Ueda's press conference later Thursday. (kosaku.narioka@wsj.com; @kosakunarioka)
