Oct 28 (Reuters) - It will be a hectic week full of major event risk, led by the fallout from Japan's election, the Bank of Japan policy meeting, U.S. October jobs report and UK budget, in the countdown to the Nov 5 U.S. election. The BOJ monetary policy board meets on Wednesday-Thursday and is widely expected to hold its policy rate at 0.25% as Governor Kazuo Ueda continues to signal a patient approach to further tightening.
