- Uncertainties surrounding Japan's economy, prices remain high
- Must pay due attention to financial markets and impact on the economy, prices
- Will keep adjusting degree of easing if outlook on economy, prices is to be realised
- Will monitor economic, market trends with extremely high sense of urgency
- Markets remain unstable (referring to Uchida's take of not raising rates when it is)

USD/JPY dipped to a low of 141.75 right as Ueda began speaking but has now raced back up to 142.50 on the day. The points on market being unstable and that they perhaps can take their time in deciding on the next move is arguably contributing to the price action we're seeing. That said, I wouldn't say they're anything new really.
