Yomiuri with the report (comes via Bloomberg)

--

Today's the day we should get an announcement from Abe on an early election - I'll keep an eye and ear out but expect the presser will come in the Japanese afternoon. The talk of an early election was a big topic all last week and seems to be all but a done deal. I dunno, but that seems to be the case - alternative suggestions welcome ( keep it clean ... or not .... :-D )
