Growing signs of sticky food inflation, which adds to prospects of sustained wage increases, will likely keep the BOJ on course to raise rates.

Trump administration's broad tariffs against its trading partners have raised uncertainty for Japan 's monetary path.

Governor Kazuo Ueda warned of heightened uncertainty over how higher U.S. tariffs could affect the global economy.

Some BOJ watchers see recent wage and price data as good enough reason for the central bank to act as soon as May 1 .

"I don't think the BOJ has made up its mind yet but to me, Ueda 's remarks sounded as if May could be a live meeting," says former BOJ official.
