🚨 BREAKING: Japan Inflation Hits the 2% Bullseye! 🚨
Tokyo’s CPI just dropped, and it’s a game-changer for January's macro outlook.
• Actual: 2.0% (Tokyo Headline)
• Previous: 2.7%
• Core CPI: 2.3% (Lower than the 2.5% forecast)
Why this matters:
This sharp "cool down" gives the Bank of Japan (BoJ) a reason to pause their rate-hiking cycle. A less aggressive BoJ is bullish for global liquidity and helps stabilize the carry trade. Expect some relief in the equity and crypto markets as "hawkish" fears subside. 🇯🇵📈
