Japan's inflation remains subdued, slight uptick in Tokyo CPI
|Japanese inflation numbers came a touch higher than expected in Tokyo, while nationwide, the price levels continued to remain stagnant, with no improvements observed. The latest inflation readings come after the BOJ was forced to push further back the timing to achieve its 2% inflation target at its last meeting, which as reflected by today's numbers, remains a tall order.
