Bank of Japan said Governor Kazuo Ueda has been hospitalized and may miss the
June 15-16 policy meeting; the yen fell to a near six-week low against the
dollar. The BOJ expects Ueda to be hospitalized for about two weeks to treat an
infected liver cyst but said he will continue to perform duties remotely as
needed. Markets broadly expect the BOJ to raise rates next week; attention is on
whether the central bank will signal further tightening.
