NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar turned higher versus the Japanese yen in midmorning U.S. trading on Wednesday. The currency has remained in a relative tight range for months waiting on the Bank of Japan to take action. Japan's central bank started a two-day policy meeting Wednesday and a slight majority of analysts expect no change in its asset-purchase program, according to analysts at RBC Capital Markets. The dollar USDJPY +0.10% turned up to buy 79.56 yen, from an intraday low of ¥79.10 and ¥79.44 in late North American trading on Tuesday.
