Forecast

2.7%

3.1%

The National Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in the prices of goods and services from the perspective of the consumer. The Central bank pays very close attention to this figure in its role of maintaining price stability, as the core rate excludes the volatile fresh food component.

A reading that is stronger than forecast is generally supportive (bullish) for the JPY, while a weaker than forecast reading is generally negative (bearish) for the JPY.
