The Bank of Japan, as expected, kept its benchmark interest rate at Negative -0.1% unchanged.
At the same time, the central bank announced plans to purchase unlimited amount of Japanese government bonds in case it is necessary.
Meanwhile, official data showed that Japan's jobless rate ticked up to 2.5% in March (as expected) from 2.4% in February.
However, the Japanese yen seems not to be weakened markedly by such economic reports.
On a Daily Chart (Short-Term view), USD/JPY is testing the key support at 107.00. A break below this level on a daily basis should bring about a bearish reversal.
