USD/JPY - ... Despite staging a brief bounce to 102.14 yesterday, the greenback ratcheted lower in New York and fell to an intra-day low of 101.61 on speculation that continued speculation that the BoJ will refrain from expanding stimulus measures at Fri's monetary meeting, however, short-covering in late NY lifted the pair to 101.82 in Asian morning. Bids are located at 101.65-60 whilst some offers are tipped at 102.00-10.
BOJ is likely to announce its rate decision at 02:30-03:30GMT. Most economists predict no policy change. The BOJ has kept its policy of buying about 7 trillion yen ($68.8 billion) of government bonds a month since April 2013.
Nikkei-225 index currently drops by 95 points to 14877, following the sell off in U.S. stock markets.

Usd's breach of Monday's 11775 low suggests fall from
last Thursday's 3-1/2 month peak at 11895 has resumed and
marginal weakness to 11740 is likely before rebound.
Would be prudent to stand aside for now. Above 11810
would signal low made and bring gain to 11850.
