The annual growth rate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Tokyo area in Japan for Q3 (August) 2026 was reported at 1.9%, cooling slightly from the previous value of 2.0% and meeting market expectations. However, the core-core CPI, excluding fresh food and energy, remained firmly at 2.0%, indicating that underlying price pressures remain solid. Analysts widely estimate that the performance of this leading indicator will intensify market bets on the Bank of Japan raising interest rates again before the end of the year.
