what happened
Reuters, citing Bank of Japan data, reported that Japanese wholesale prices increased 6.8% in September from a year earlier. The result was below the market’s median forecast for a 7.6% rise and followed a 7.6% annual increase in August.
The corporate goods price index (CGPI), which tracks the prices companies charge for their goods and services, fell 0.3% month on month in September. Economists had expected a 0.5% increase; the index also declined 0.3% in August after rising 0.4% in July. The index stood at 135.7. The figures are preliminary, and earlier readings may be revised.
why it matters
The slower annual increase and monthly decline in the CGPI may inform views on inflationary pressure in Japan and expectations for Bank of Japan policy. The data were released on October 13.
