0800 GMT - As geopolitical uncertainties have made it difficult for policymakers and economists to predict the inflation outlook, the Bank of Japan is planning to release new indicators to help them understand core price trends. Gov. Kazuo Ueda says the central bank will release price data that strips out temporary factors--such as the impact of government subsidies--before the summer. However, Ueda says there is "no intention to move policy in either direction immediately" based solely on such data. (megumi.fujikawa@wsj.com)
