Latest data from DataTrack shows that Japan's Tokyo Core CPI index for July 2026 (Q3 2026) climbed to 106.8, rising further from the previous value of 106.5 (Q2 2026). Although external agencies reported a July year-over-year increase of 1.9% which exceeded expectations, conflicting with the calculated value from this data, both indicate that price pressures are heating up again. Accompanied by a rebound in energy costs and a weak yen, the latest inflation data will serve as a key catalyst for the Bank of Japan's subsequent monetary policy.
