AI Data Insight

Japan's latest composite CPI for Q2 2026 reached 113.0, continuing its climb from the previous value of 112.7 and driving the overall YoY growth rate to rebound to 1.5%. This was mainly driven by rising transportation and energy costs triggered by the situation in the Middle East, though government subsidy policies are expected to mitigate the risk of prices spiraling completely out of control in the short term.
