لماذا يهم
Inflation is what the Bank of Japan is charged with controlling, so this is one of the most market-moving releases of the month. A figure above expectations makes rate hikes (or a longer wait for cuts) more likely, which usually lifts the Japanese yen and bond yields; a soft figure does the reverse. It also drives wages, pensions and benefits that are linked to prices.
طريقة الحساب
the Statistics Bureau and the Cabinet Office collects many thousands of prices every month (food, rent, energy, transport, clothing, services) and weights them by how much households spend on each, from household surveys. The index compares the cost of the basket with a base year; the inflation rate is the change from the same month a year earlier.
CPI = Σ (price now ÷ base price) × weight × 100
Inflation (yoy) = CPI ÷ CPI 12 months ago − 1ما تعنيه التغيرات
- Above the central bank's target (usually 2%) and rising: pressure for higher rates.
- Look at the core rate and services prices to see if the move is broad or driven by energy and food.
- Base effects: a big jump a year ago drops out of the yearly rate and can make it fall even if prices keep rising.
- Markets react to the difference from the consensus, often to a single decimal.
أعلى من المتوقع: A higher figure than expected makes the Bank of Japan more likely to keep rates high or raise them: it tends to support the Japanese yen and push bond yields up, and is often a weight on stocks.
أقل من المتوقع: A lower figure than expected gives the Bank of Japan room to cut or hold rates lower: the Japanese yen tends to soften and bond yields to fall.
لمحة تاريخية قصيرة
The United States began publishing a national consumer price index in 1919, the United Kingdom's index goes back to 1914. Inflation targeting, started by New Zealand in 1990, made this release the centre of monetary policy almost everywhere.

Why does the Japan Inflation Rate YoY move the Japanese yen?
Because it changes what traders expect the Bank of Japan to do with the short-term policy rate, and interest rates decide what holding the currency pays.
