Investing.com - The yen fell against the dollar Tuesday as the BoJ left its monetary policy on hold and expressed a more upbeat view of the domestic economy.
The dollar was up 0.62% at 117.85 yen at 02:00 ET. The dollar index was up 0.20% at 103.28.
The euro fell below the $1.04 mark as geopolitical concerns came into play after suspected terrorist attacks in Germany and Turkey.
The BoJ noted a pick-up in Japanese exports while private consumption remains resilient.
"Japan's economy continues to recover moderately as a trend," the BOJ said in a statement.
However, the bank noted the possible impact of U.S. monetary policy on global markets.
