【日本企业物价增速维持高位 为央行加息再添理由】日本企业商品价格7月继续保持较快涨势，企业面临的成本压力仍处于高位。与此同时，日本央行官员正继续权衡是否推进进一步加息，以遏制通胀。日本央行周四公布的数据显示，衡量企业投入成本的企业商品价格指数7月同比上涨7.2%，略低于6月修正后的7.3%；后者为2023年3月以来最高水平。环比来看，企业物价上涨0.1%，此前一个月数据经修正后为上涨0.5%。这一生产者价格指数的上涨主要受到石油和煤炭制品、化工产品以及有色金属价格上涨带动。这些数据进一步表明，企业将成本上涨转嫁给客户的压力依然较大，这使日本央行继续加息的理由得到支撑。在上月维持政策利率不变后，日本央行行长植田和男表示，鉴于通胀上行风险增加，以及加息节奏可能加快，下次行动最早可能在9月。
