[Tokyo Inflation Accelerates, Significantly Exceeding Bank of Japan's Target] As the effects of certain temporary government policies fade, Tokyo's core inflation indicators have surged, reinforcing the Bank of Japan's stance to continue raising benchmark interest rates after accelerating the pace of policy normalization. Data released by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on Friday showed that Tokyo's consumer price index, excluding fresh food, rose 2.7% year-on-year in September. This figure exceeded the economists' median forecast of 2.3%, compared to a 1.8% increase last month. Previously, Tokyo's expanded childcare subsidies and summer water bill reduction policies had suppressed this inflation indicator, leading the market to widely anticipate an accelerated rise in this data. The spike in CPI confirms the Bank of Japan's concerns: the risk of rising inflation may push the core price trend beyond the 2% target. (Sina Finance)
