Headline and core were well behaved, but it's the core-core 9excluding food and energy and the closest to US core inflation) that might be beading some sweat on brows at the Bank of Japan:
Core-core 1.6% y/y, in line with expectations and an unchanged rate from August
- expected 1.6%, prior 1.6%
USD/JPY is not too far from its recent high. Its silly to read too much into this given the data was only a few minutes ago.
