As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: A broad beat, especially in underlying prices, usually supports the yen through a more hawkish BoJ rate outlook.

Below the forecast: A clear miss or sustained slowdown usually weighs on the yen by reducing expected BoJ tightening.

In line with the forecast: The yen response is limited unless the composition points to a meaningful change in persistent inflation.
