Quotes from Western Union:

- An uptick in U.S. Treasury yields continued to weigh generally on the lower-yielding Japanese currency. 

- The yen took little direction from a Bank of Japan decision today to hold off on new policy measures. Central bank officials sounded a bit more upbeat about the outlook for the world's No. 3 economy.
