yenFinanceroll.com - The yen weakened against the dollar after the Bank of Japan announced an emergency policy meeting today, spurring speculation authorities will step in to halt the currency’s gains.

The Japanese currency declined to 87.10 per dollar as of 11:32 a.m. in Tokyo from 86.41 in New York yesterday. The yen declined to 130.72 per euro from 129.64. The euro was at $1.5009 from $1.5005.

The central bank said it will hold an emergency meeting at 2 p.m. today in Tokyo. The bank will consider additional policy easing steps, Kyodo News reported, without saying where it got the information.
