CPI data from Japan earlier is here: Japan National Headline CPI for June 2021: 0.2% y/y (vs. expected -0.1%)

But the increase, driven largely by higher energy costs, was much smaller than that of other major economies due to weak consumption, reinforcing expectations the Bank of Japan will be forced to maintain its massive stimulus for the time being.
