The yen erased gains that were triggered by the Fed’s decision to cut its benchmark interest rate by a half percentage point. Powell signaled at a press conference following the announcement that it’s not in a rush to ease policy. The yen was at 143.18 per dollar, after appreciating to 140.45. Economists expect the BOJ to stand pat when its two-day meeting concludes Friday. Japanese stocks tumbled into a bear market in early August after BOJ’s rate hike and Governor Kazuo Ueda’s hawkish stance at his briefing sent the yen higher.
