Inflation in Japan's capital slows more than expected, slides below BOJ goal

TOKYO (Reuters) -Core inflation in Japan's capital slowed much more than expected in April and fell below the central bank's 2% target, data showed on Friday, complicating its decision on how soon to raise interest rates. The reading comes just hours ahead of the conclusion of the Bank of Japan's two-day policy meeting, where the board is set to keep interest rates steady and produce fresh quarterly inflation projections through early 2027. The core consumer price index (CPI) in Tokyo, a leading indicator of nationwide figures, increased 1.6% in April from a year earlier, slowing from a 2.4% gain in March.

Japan is concerned about weak yen's negative effects, Finance Minister says

TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan is concerned about negative effects of the weak yen, Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday, in a fresh warning against speculators as the currency has continued to slide to lows last seen more than three decades ago. "The weak yen has both positive and negative impacts (on the economy)," Suzuki told a press conference. While a weak yen boosts exports, it has become a headache for Japanese policymakers as it inflates the cost of living for households by pushing up import prices.
