SINGAPORE/LONDON—The Japanese yen firmed on Tuesday after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) maintained its ultra easy policy settings, but markets picked up signals that an end to its negative interest rate policy was approaching.
The dollar was last down about 0.2 percent on the Japanese currency at 147.81, stabilising after a 4.8 percent climb so far this year, on the back of markets pushing back expectations of imminent U.S rate cuts.
