Yen weak ahead of BOJ decision; rate hike expected
The yen dipped against both the dollar and euro as investors speculated about a potential interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan. Recent inflation figures showed a small miss in expectations for August, contributing to market volatility. Meanwhile, the Bank of England opted to maintain steady interest rates, and the euro stayed stable against the dollar. The Australian dollar saw an uptick amid inflation concerns, while oil prices plunged.
