The January outlook report and current data are not enough to determine if a rate hike is necessary. Wage trends and the potential impact of Trump's tariffs are uncertain. If a rate hike is not pursued, it will be considered a cautious decision, though there is a risk of falling behind. Ueda's message indicates that more information is needed before deciding on rate changes, and such information might not be available by January.
