Bloomberg with the report saying Bank of Japan officials see a good chance of an interest rate hike next week.
- likely to hike rates at next weeks meeting (23 and 24 January)
- likelihood the rate will be raised from 0.25%
- unless there is a 'major rout in markets' following Trump's swearing in.
Bloomberg say the info comes from people familiar with the matter.
