Japan inflation data
'Headline' CPI y/y 0.3% well done from July, at 0.3% its the the slowest gain in 2 years
- expected 0.3%, prior was 0.5%
CPI excluding Fresh Food y/y 0.5%
- expected 0.5%, prior was 0.6%
CPI excluding Food, Energy y/y 0.6% … this is the closest to the US measure or core inflation.
- expected 0.5%, prior was 0.6%
Where is that cut and paste? …. Nowhere even close to target.
And another thing … each one lower than in July.
No cartwheels at the BOJ today.
