- Tokyo Japan core CPI YY: 2.1 vs. 2.0% expected
- Jobs/Applications Ratio: 1.24 vs. 1.26 expected
- Unemployment rate: 2.6% vs. 2.6% expected
It should be noted that the Tokyo core CPI is seen as a leading indicator of the regular national core CPI figure (see below), and we get the Tokyo numbers well ahead of the national core data (today’s data is for June).
