Latest data shows that Japan's Q2 2026 goods CPI reached 122.2, continuing to rise from the previous value of 121.1. Although the official core CPI annual growth rate fell below 2% due to the expanded decline in energy prices, the rise in food prices and three consecutive months of positive real wage growth still provide solid support for goods prices. The market is closely monitoring the subsequent effects of yen depreciation and geopolitical risks.
