Japan's core consumer price index (CPI), which includes oil products but excludes fresh food prices, rose 0.6% in July year-on-year, as expected, matching the previous month's gain, which was the slowest pace since July 2017. Back then, the core CPI had climbed by 0.5%.
The data will likely add to the pressure on the BOJ to ease further. The Yen has already come under pressure in the last few minutes - USD/JPY is currently trading at 106.50, having hit a low of 106.38 earlier today.
