BOJ gov on the wires after meeting with PM Abe

  • discussed domestic and global economy with Abe
  • Japan price trend is strong
  • fall in core CPI due to energy prices
  • PM Abe didn't have any specific requests on monetary policy

Kuroda refused to comment when asked about further easing from the BOJ saying he won't comment on specific monetary policy moves

So that leaves us guessing still about an October easing
