At 01:30 (GMT+2), Japan will publish September data on the consumer price index, which is the main indicator of the country's inflation rate and determines the change in the level of retail prices for a certain "basket" of goods and services: food, transport, utilities, health care and others, and also has a significant impact on the decisions on monetary policy. The year-on-year figure is expected to increase from 2.7% to 2.9%. The fulfillment of the forecast will be an additional argument in favor of raising the interest rate by the Bank of Japan and could strengthen the position of the yen.
