Japan's national inflation data for March 2026 is set to be released, following Tokyo's consumer price data which showed a year-on-year inflation rate of 1.4%, down from 1.5% in February. The core inflation rate fell to 1.7%, below the Bank of Japan's 2% target for the second consecutive month. Despite government subsidies helping to contain inflation, upward pressure from energy prices and a weak yen are expected to reignite inflation momentum. The Bank of Japan is likely to revise its inflation projections higher at the upcoming policy meeting, indicating a readiness to adjust rates in response to economic conditions.
