At 07:00 (GMT+2), data on the core consumer price index for September will be released by the Bank of Japan. It is the main indicator of inflation in the country, determining the change in retail prices for a specific basket of goods and services: food, transport, utilities, healthcare but excluding several particularly volatile items and having a significant impact on the regulator’s monetary policy decisions. The index may rise from 2.0% to 2.1%, remaining above the target value. As a result, the officials may return to the “dovish” rhetoric.
