Exclusive-BOJ leaning toward keeping rates steady next week, sources say

The Bank of Japan is leaning toward keeping interest rates steady next week as policymakers prefer to spend more time scrutinising overseas risks and clues on next year's wage outlook, said five sources familiar with its thinking. Any such decision will heighten the chance of an interest rate hike at the central bank's subsequent meeting in January or March, when there will be more information on the extent to which wage hikes will broaden next year. There is no consensus within the central bank on the final decision, with some in the board still believing Japan has met the conditions for raising rates in December, the sources said.
