JAPAN DATA: Japan’s corporate goods price index (CGPI) is expected
to have risen 1.2% on year in December, with the pace of increase
slowing from +1.7% in November due to smaller gains in commodity prices,
according to the median forecast by economists surveyed by Market News
International. The Bank of Japan will release the December CGPI data at
0850 JST on Monday, Jan. 16 (2350 GMT Sunday).
