The Japanese central bank laid the foundation for the yen to fall

The Japanese yen is expected to depreciate against other major currencies, including the US dollar, after the country's central bank did not take action to curb its record monetary stimulus.
After the Japanese central bank meeting, Haruhiko Kuroda announced that the key interest rates in the country would be slightly increased, but did not mention anything about changing the monetary policy of the bank and record monetary stimulus.
Kuroda clearly said this morning that in an environment of continuing low inflation, the central bank has no intention of raising interest rates and will continue to maintain its incentives until targeted inflation is reached.
This largely disappointed investors and traders who were betting on a change in central bank policy. The yen, which had registered a significant growth against the dollar and the rest of the currencies, returned almost everything earned.
Earlier this morning, one dollar swapped at levels of about 112.00 yen.
