Policymakers are assessing the full impact of that hike, mindful that inflation appears to be moderating but still running above target in key underlying measures, and have emphasised a data-dependent approach to future moves. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"1209\">Today\u2019s Tokyo CPI readings, including the headline, core and core-core gauges, will be closely watched for signs of continued stickiness in prices. Stronger-than-expected prints would reinforce expectations for further BoJ tightening later in 2026, while softer outcomes would support the central bank\u2019s slow and cautious pacing. <\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The snapshot above is from the investingLive economic data calendar.
