TOKYO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Longer-term Japanese government bond yields edged lower on Thursday as the fresh imposition of lockdowns in Europe to curb a second wave of coronavirus infections boosted demand for safe-harbour assets. Earlier on Thursday the Bank of Japan trimmed its economic and price forecasts for the current fiscal year. The central bank also made no change to its quantitative easing programme, which was in line with expectations. Bond traders will shift focus to BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda’s press conference later in the day to see how he evaluates recent moves in yields and whether he comments on the outlook for financial markets after the Nov. 3 U.S. presidential election.
