No changes to the BOJ's bond buying operations next month

The BOJ has been tweaking its bond buying operations this year in what was misconstrued early on as signs of tapering. But as they have shown as of late that there isn't a set pattern to the changes, markets have very much closed an eye to the most recent tweaks.

As for next month, it's the status quo. USD/JPY trades at 110.90 currently after touching a low of 110.81 earlier as weaker US equity futures continue to drive downwards pressure on yen pairs.
