Yen weakens on BOJ surprise, euro set for worst week in two months





The yen fell to an over one-month low on Friday after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) stood pat on interest rates and said it would trim bond buying, while the euro, mired in a political turmoil, was headed for its biggest weekly fall in two months.


The BOJ said at the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting it would continue to buy government bonds at the existing pace for now, and lay out details of its tapering plan at its July policy meeting.
