TOKYO, May 1 (Reuters) - Japan's 10-year government bond

yield fell on Thursday as investors awaited the Bank of Japan's

(BOJ) policy decision later in the day.

The 10-year JGB yield lost 1 basis point (bp)

to 1.3%. It last traded at 1.305%, down 0.5 bp from Wednesday's

session.

The 20-year JGB yield eased 1 bp to 2.185%.

At the two-day meeting ending later in the day, the BOJ is

likely to keep the interest rates steady and cut its growth

forecasts as uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs clouds the

outlook for the world's fourth-largest economy.

Bonds with other maturities have not yet been traded as of
