USD/JPY flows: Tokyo Headline CPI Stay Cushioned
1
Tokyo May headline CPI 1.4% y/y
Tokyo May headline CPI came in at 1.4% y/y, with ex-fresh food at 1.3% and ex fresh food & energy at 1.6%. It clearly shows the inflationary pressure being artifically cushioned by extension of energy stimulus. Yet, it cannot be ignored that household consumption is also weaker despite real wage positive.
USD/JPY is trading 0.04% higher at 159.29.
