[Mizuho: Japan's Tankan Corporate Inflation Forecast Draws Attention] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on June 30, Mizuho Securities economist Ryosuke Katagi stated that the upcoming Bank of Japan Tankan survey might reveal further upward adjustments in corporate inflation expectations. He noted that, given oil prices have remained high since the last survey in March, companies may raise their price expectations in the June report. He added that if this occurs, it could heighten the Bank of Japan's concerns that the core inflation rate might exceed its 2% target. In the March survey, companies indicated they expected overall prices to rise by 2.6% over the next year, higher than the previously reported forecast of a 2.4% increase.
