Yen set for third straight daily gain against dollar after BOJ holds rates - Euronext Markets: Real-time Stock Market Data | live

NEW YORK/LONDON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - The yen was on track for a third consecutive daily gain on Friday after the Bank of Japan left rates unchanged and upgraded its inflation outlook, while declining US Treasury yields weighed on the dollar. The BOJ left its main rate at 1.25% in a widely anticipated move, but stressed that its policy has entered a new, more hawkish phase open to raising rates once every few months. The yen was last up 0.11% at 157.51 per dollar, but was on track for a monthly loss in October. "The market is a little disappointed in the BOJ," said Joseph Trevisani, senior analyst at FXStreet. "The yen is a little bit stronger today but not as strong as it has been. We still have the Fed bias countering what the BOJ is doing.
