The last reading
Tokyo's core rate, which excludes fresh food, rose to 2.7% in September from 1.8% in August. The measure excluding fresh food and energy reached 3.0%. The rise was driven by childcare, water and lodging charges (September report).
What to watch
The base effects that lifted the September figure may not repeat in October. If the core rate holds near 2.7%, it will support the Bank's case that inflation is close to its 2% goal; if it falls back sharply, the case for further tightening weakens. The national figure for September is due on 23 October (preview).
Why it matters for USD/JPY
The Bank raised its rate to 1.25% in September, and its board was divided on the pace of further increases (BoJ report). Live prices: USD/JPY.
