Here is what you need to know. The Bank of Japan kept policy on hold. Haruhiko Kuroda's central bank decided to take a wait-and-see approach after Wednesday's GDP data handily outpaced expectations. Friday's decision kept the BOJ's asset-purchase program at 80 trillion yen ($662 billion), with the bank noting the economy had "continued to recover moderately." Japan's yen is up 0.1% at 120.91 per dollar.
