At 07:00 (GMT+2), Japan's Core Consumer Price Index data for August will be released. It is the main indicator of the level of inflation in the country and determines the change in the level of retail prices for a certain basket of goods and services, excluding a number of particularly volatile components. The Consumer Price Index is expected to decline year-on-year from 2.0% to 1.9%, which could reduce the likelihood of another interest rate hike and put pressure on the national currency.
