Japanese yen held higher ahead of the Bank of Japan’s meeting amid investors remained skeptical about whether the last BOJ measures will be enough to target inflation.

The British pound plunged to a session low, the lowest since August, on nerves about the pace and course of talks on Brexit. The U.K. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said that the country will start formal Brexit negotiations early next year, suggesting that Britatin could be on a faster pace to and exit from European Union than market’s expectations. Sterling hit 1.2915 and settled at 1.29956, down 0.92% for the day. Commodity currencies held generally lower after crude oil prices tumbled on Friday.
