受强劲的企业利润和紧俏的劳动力市场推动，日本名义工资创近30年来最大升幅，料支持日本央行下周加息。
日本政府周二公布，7月名义工资同比增长4.7%，高于6月经修正后的4%，不仅创下1997年以来最大升幅，也远超经济学家预期的3.8%。工资增幅已连续六个月超过3%，为34年来最长纪录。
经不含房租的通胀率调整后，实际工资增长2.4%，创约五年来最大增幅。基本工资增长4.1%；对于全职员工，一项剔除奖金、加班费及抽样偏差的工资指标增长2.7%。
强于预期的工资数据将支持日本央行进一步收紧货币政策。市场已基本消化央行下周会议加息的预期，部分投资者还预计，央行可能在相对较短的时间内再次上调利率。
不过，日本央行能否持续加息，部分取决于收入增长能否转化为更强劲的国内需求，而目前仍存在疑问。上周公布的数据显示，7月家庭支出连续第八个月下降，消费者削减可自由支配支出；第二季度国内生产总值数据也显示，私人消费增长基本停滞。
