NEW YORK (Sept 21): The dollar edged up while world stock indexes were flat on Tuesday as investors awaited the outcomes of Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan policy meetings that will conclude on Wednesday. The Bank of Japan is expected to ease its ultra-loose policies further, according to a Reuters poll of economists. The dollar index rose 0.2 percent to 95.995, just below the 96.108 mark touched on Friday that was the highest since Sept. 1. MSCI's all-country world stock index was little changed, while European shares also closed flat. U.S. Treasury yields fell as traders bought longer-dated bonds on uncertainty over the outcome of the BOJ meeting.
