Bank of Japan considers cutting growth forecast.
Earlier today the IMF cuts its GDP forecast for Japan to 0.8% from 1.0%. The consensus is 1.0%, as of a BBG survey earlier today.
The current BOJ 2015 forecast is 2.0%.
A series of better economic data points has stalled and that brings the idea of yet-another round of QE onto the table. Still economists are looking for solid growth in the second half of the year and that's more likely to keep Kuroda sidelined.
