At the end of a two-day policy meeting, the BOJ agreed to keep short-term interest rates unchanged at 0.5%, while raising its inflation forecast for the three years to fiscal 2027 and saying risks to the price outlook were now roughly balanced, Reuters reported. The yen initially rose on the news as investors expected a possible BOJ rate hike later this year, but then reversed course and traded almost unchanged during the day.

In the broader market, the dollar continued to hover around a two-month high after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank would be patient in adjusting interest rates and gave no clear signal on the timing of cuts. The rally was also supported by a series of trade deals that helped ease concerns about President Donald Trump's chaotic tariff policies.

The euro, one of the currencies hardest hit by the dollar’s rally this month, has lost nearly 3% of its value as investors retreated from hopes that European markets would offer more opportunities. The European Union’s agreement to impose 15% tariffs on U.S. exports has provided some clarity on the trade environment but also dented investor confidence.

“The euro has been over-optimistic and now reality is pulling it back,” said Jane Foley, a strategist at Rabobank. She said the dollar has not properly reflected the recent rally in US assets, such as the S&P 500 hitting new highs and long-term bond yields falling. “A rebound in the dollar is needed to bring the market back to a more neutral position,” she said.

The euro was up 0.36% at $1.144, after hitting a seven-week low, but still on track for a nearly 3% monthly loss. The dollar index edged down slightly to 99.77 but is still up about 3% for the month.
