Jinshi data, January 31, Japan's Merkez Bankası President Kazuo Ueda's third interest rate hike in a week, Japan's Tokyo inflation rate accelerated, providing support for Japan's Merkez Bankası's economic outlook. The Japanese government announced on Friday that consumer prices in Tokyo, excluding fresh food, rose by 2.5% year-on-year in January, in line with economists' median expectations, and the largest increase since February last year. The latest CPI data shows persistent inflationary pressures. The survey results show that the most likely time for the next interest rate hike by the Japanese Merkez Bankası is in July, followed by September. It is worth noting that 45% of respondents believe that in a risk scenario, the window for interest rate hikes may be brought forward to April. Economist Taro Kimura said that the robust rebound in Tokyo inflation will make Japan's Merkez Bankası more confident that inflation is becoming safe around its 2% target, thereby prompting it to continue to reduce stimulus measures this year.
