According to the latest authoritative data, the annual growth rate of Japan's Tokyo core CPI for Q2 2026 (as of April) dropped to 0.7%, further sliding from the previous value of 0.9% and breaking below the 1% mark. Although external markets reported a consensus gap of 1.5% for April, based on authoritative indicators, government subsidies for utilities and education significantly played a cooling role. The unexpected weakening of inflation is expected to affect the Bank of Japan's subsequent rate hike path and the yen's trend.
