As of August 29, 2025, Tokyo's core consumer price index (CPI) fell to 2.5% year-on-year in August, in line with market forecasts. The Tokyo CPI index excluding fresh food and energy, which is closely monitored by the Bank of Japan (BoJ), rose 3.0% year-on-year in August, compared to the previous reading of 3.1%.
These Tokyo inflation reports support market expectations for a resumption of interest rate hikes, which is supporting the Japanese yen.
On the other hand, higher-than-expected US gross domestic product (GDP) for the second quarter (Q2) may support the US dollar. The US economy grew 3.3% year-on-year in the second quarter, exceeding initial estimates.
