Japan’s headline National Consumer Price Index<\/a> (CPI) held steady and came in at the 2.8% YoY rate for June. Meanwhile, Core CPI inflation \u2013 or headline CPI inflation less volatile food prices \u2013 rose by 2.6% during the reported period versus the previous 2.5% and consensus estimates for a reading of 2.7%.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Core-core Japanese CPI \u2013 or CPI inflation less both food and energy prices \u2013 ticks higher in June and grew 2.2% YoY rate from the previous 2.1%.<\/p>\n

Japan’s national-level CPI inflation print tends to be previewed by Tokyo CPI inflation several weeks prior, leaving a muted market impact from nationwide aggregated inflation figures.<\/p>\n

Consumer Price Index (YoY)<\/h3>\n

Inflationary or deflationary tendencies are measured by periodically summing the prices of a basket of representative goods and services and presenting the data as The Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPI data is compiled on a monthly basis and released by the US Department of Labor Statistics<\/a>. The YoY reading compares the prices of goods in the reference month to the same month a year earlier.The CPI is a key indicator to measure inflation and changes in purchasing trends. Generally speaking, a high reading is seen as bullish for the US Dollar (USD), while a low reading is seen as bearish.<\/p>\n

Japanese Yen FAQs<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world\u2019s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan\u2019s policy, the differential between Japanese and US bond yields, or risk sentiment among traders, among other factors.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

One of the Bank of Japan\u2019s mandates is currency control, so its moves are key for the Yen. The BoJ has directly intervened in currency markets sometimes, generally to lower the value of the Yen, although it refrains from doing it often due to political concerns of its main trading partners. The current BoJ ultra-loose monetary policy, based on massive stimulus to the economy, has caused the Yen to depreciate against its main currency peers. This process has exacerbated more recently due to an increasing policy divergence between the Bank of Japan and other main central banks, which have opted to increase interest rates sharply to fight decades-high levels of inflation.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The BoJ\u2019s stance of sticking to ultra-loose monetary policy has led to a widening policy divergence with other central banks, particularly with the US Federal Reserve. This supports a widening of the differential between the 10-year US and Japanese bonds, which favors the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Japanese Yen is often seen as a safe-haven investment. This means that in times of market stress, investors are more likely to put their money in the Japanese currency due to its supposed reliability and stability. Turbulent times are likely to strengthen the Yen\u2019s value against other currencies seen as more risky to invest in.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
