Another piece suggesting the BOJ will leave policy unchanged next week

I posted a preview of the Bank of Japan policy meeting here earlier:

• BOJ monetary policy meeting next week - ammunition should be saved say 'people familiar'

And this even earlier:

• Next week brings the FOMC and BOJ meetings - forecast range for USD/JPY

Reuters suggest also the BOJ will remain on hold:

• "Global risks persist but aren't imposing huge damage on domestic demand yet. Markets are also calm," said one of the sources. "There aren't many factors that justify acting now."
• If the BOJ were to ease, the most likely option would be to take short-term rates deeper into negative territory, the sources said on condition of anonymity.
• "The BOJ still has ammunition in stock. But there aren't that many left," another source said.

In addition the policy announcement and statement the Bank will issue update outlook forecasts:

• quarterly forecasts
• expected to say, yet again, that the CPI will head towards 2%
