The yen fell broadly on Tuesday after the BOJ maintained its ultra-easy monetary settings as expected. Governor Kazuo Ueda said “it's hard to quantify how close” trend inflation was to the 2% target.


In a quarterly report on the outlook, the central bank cut its core consumer inflation forecast for the fiscal year beginning in Apr to 2.4% from 2.8% projected earlier.
