I'm blaming Bloomberg for my vivid mental image of a helicopter stalking Kuroda:

  • No matter what he says or does, helicopter money speculation follows Japan's central bank chief Haruhiko Kuroda

The piece goes on:

  • some analysts see the groundwork for a central bank-funded fiscal stimulus in last month's decision by the BOJ to target sovereign bond yield levels
  • The shift means the monetary authority would be obligated to absorb new government debt sales to stop borrowing costs rising, according to Mizuho Securities Co. and Nordea
