The latest Tokyo core CPI for July 2026 (Q3 2026) recorded a month-over-month increase of 0.3%, rebounding significantly from the stagnant level of 0.0% in the previous period (Q2 2026). The narrowing decline in energy prices and the pass-through of daily necessity costs drove overall inflation to outperform market expectations. In the short term, this will further consolidate the Bank of Japan's confidence in advancing monetary tightening and interest rate normalization.
