What it measures

Japan’s national core CPI measures year-over-year consumer-price inflation excluding fresh food but including energy. It is a key gauge for the BoJ, which targets 2% inflation and looks for price rises supported by wages and demand.

Why it moves the JPY

A persistent beat can bring forward expectations for BoJ rate increases and usually support the yen; a slowdown can weaken it. Markets distinguish durable domestic inflation from temporary energy or import-cost effects.
