AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Inflation and Rates: Tokyo’s core inflation stayed above the Bank of Japan’s 2% target at 2.6% in October. The BOJ is expected to hold rates at 1.25% on Friday but signal further hikes could come soon. Consumer Spending: Rising prices are pushing shoppers away from convenience stores; customer numbers fell 3.8% in September, the steepest annual drop since 2021. Pay and Costs: Big-company pay rose 4.1% as labor shortages bite, while the government plans to gradually scale back gasoline subsidies from December. Business Investment: Ricoh plans a new facility in Kanagawa that could more than double inkjet-head production capacity, and KDDI will build another data center in London to meet AI demand. Markets: Tokyo stocks advanced as Advantest’s profit outlook lifted chip shares ahead of the BOJ decision.
