what happened
Japanese wholesale prices rose 7.1% in the year to October, the Bank of Japan said on Thursday. Economists had forecast a 6.5% annual increase, and September's figure was 6.8%.
On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.7%, against a forecast of 0.3%. The figures are preliminary and earlier data may be revised. The information was reported by Reuters, citing Bank of Japan data.
why it matters
The corporate goods price index (CGPI) tracks the prices companies charge one another for goods and services, so it serves as an early signal of pressure on consumer prices. Stronger wholesale inflation raises expectations that the Bank of Japan may keep tightening policy, which matters for the yen, Japanese government bonds and exporter shares.
