What it measures

This national measure reports the annual change in Japan’s consumer prices, including fresh food and energy. The BoJ aims for inflation to reach 2% sustainably, so the source and durability of price rises matter as much as the headline.

Why it moves the JPY

A persistent upside surprise can increase expectations for BoJ rate hikes and usually support the yen. A headline driven by temporary energy or food effects may have less impact than stronger underlying inflation and wages.
