- The Bank of Japan has kicked off its two-day monetary policy meeting with a decision due Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. ET.
- A fall in industrial production and wage growth, along with last week's Tankan survey have highlighted the lackluster state of the nation's economy, leading several analysts to predict more fiscal stimulus.
- Whatever the outcome may be, the central bank will hold a second monetary policy meeting on October 30, when it is scheduled to publish its bi-annual report on the economy and inflation.
