According to the latest data, Japan's CPI month-over-month (MoM) growth rate reached 0.5% in May 2026, climbing further from 0.3% in April. Although external market expectations projected a MoM increase of 0.4%, the actual data indicates stronger inflationary momentum. With the phase-out of energy subsidies and a weak yen driving up import costs, the market expects the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to accelerate the pace of monetary policy normalization.
