The U.S. dollar fell against the yen amid Bank of Japan's decision not leave its monetary policy unchanged. The decision was made at the bank's meeting yesterday. The BOJ reiterated that inflation expectations were growing on the whole. BOJ officials used to say that declines in oil prices are in the way of inflation growth. However the tone of the bank's statement signaled that risks for the 2% inflation target had grown.
