what happened
Japan's producer prices rose 0.7% on the month in October, the Bank of Japan said on Thursday. Economists had expected a 0.3% increase. The September gain was also revised up, to 0.2%.
On an annual basis, the index climbed 7.1%, compared with forecasts of 6.5% and 6.8% in the previous month. Export prices rose 0.6% monthly and 12.2% yearly, while import prices jumped 2.3% on the month and 19.2% on the year. The figures were reported by TradingView.
why it matters
A sharp rise in import prices suggests that Japanese companies' costs keep climbing, which could pass through to consumer prices. Data like this strengthens expectations that the Bank of Japan will tighten policy, making it relevant for the yen, equities and government bonds.
