Japan Statistics Bureau released National Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June, rising to 3.3% YoY from 3.2% versus 3.5% expected on early Friday.

Further details unveil that the National CPI ex Fresh Food matches 3.3% YoY forecasts, improving from 3.2% prior, whereas the National CPI ex Food, Energy eases to 4.2% expected figures compared to 4.3% previous readings.
