On Thursday, 01-28-10 at 6:30 PM ET, the Japan Statistics Bureau released the monthly JPY Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index and JPY National Core Consumer Price Index YoY reports

There were 2 additional reports as well.

The additional reports are:

I did a “preview” post of these reports. Click here for a review.

Even though I did set up to trade the GBP/JPY currency pair, the two major reports did not come out in the same direction – so I did not enter a trade.

Here is what Is happening with these 2 reports:

Forecast = -1.8%

Actual = -2.0%

JPY National Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats
