Tokyo CPI excl. Food and Energy y/y JPY

High impact Updated after every release
Next release Thu, Oct 1 23:30 UTC · consensus TBA  

What this release is

The Tokyo Consumer Price Index excluding Fresh Food and Energy, reported year-over-year, measures the rate of inflation for a core basket of goods and services in Japan’s capital. This monthly release is published by Japan’s national statistics office, stat.go.jp, and is a key indicator for the prices sector.

Forex traders closely monitor this core inflation metric as it provides insight into underlying price trends, which are crucial for the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy decisions. Sustained changes in inflation can influence the central bank’s stance on interest rates, affecting the Japanese Yen’s valuation against other currencies.

After past releases, this series has typically shown a high impact on the JPY. Market participants often focus on the headline year-over-year figure. While initial readings are important, any revisions to previous months’ data can also draw significant attention and lead to market movements.
