日本关键通胀指标三个月来首次加速,这将支持该国央行继续处于年内再次加息的轨道上。
日本总务省周五公布,6月剔除生鲜食品的消费者价格同比上涨1.6%,符合彭博调查经济学家所得预估中值。
日本央行密切关注的核心通胀指标,即剔除生鲜食品和能源的消费者价格上涨1.7%。整体消费者价格也上涨1.7%。
能源成本推动通胀加速。虽然政府补贴帮助压低能源价格,但降幅较上月明显放缓。耐用品和医疗服务费等其他分项也对通胀加速有所贡献。
日本央行上月已将基准利率上调至1995年以来最高水平,最新通胀数据将支持其继续加息。日元兑美元创下约40年来新低,也令已经警惕通胀上行风险的决策者更加担忧。
市场普遍预计日本央行将在7月31日的下次政策会议上维持利率不变。大多数日本央行观察人士预期,该行将在12月再次加息。
