Japan October headline CPI 2.3% (expected 2.2% prior 2.5%)

November 21, 2024 at 11:31PM
Japan inflation data October 2024, all figures are y/y.

Headline national CPI 2.3%

expected 2.2%, prior 2.5%

CPI excluding Fresh Food & Energy 2.3% (often referred to as ‘core-core’ inflation, its the closest to US core inflation)

expected Exp. 2.3%, prior 2.1%

CPI excluding Fresh Food 2.3% (core inflation)

expected Exp. 2.2%, prior 2.4%

Yen is inching a little stronger after the data. All three measures are above the 2% Bank of Japan inflation target. If you wanted to find an argument for a BOJ December rate hike this’d have to count, no?
