日本10月批发通胀升至7.1%超预期，强化日本央行12月加息预期
Japan wholesale inflation speeds up to 7.1%, beating forecasts and firming BoJ hike bets
Japan's October corporate goods price index rose 7.1% year-on-year, above the 6.5% expectation and above September's 6.8%; month-on-month it rose 0.7%, versus an expected 0.3%. Petroleum and coal, chemicals, steel and utilities were the main drivers, while agricultural products fell 6.6% month-on-month due to lower new rice prices.
Japan's October corporate goods price index rebounded above expectations to 7.1%, with cost pressures spreading from energy, chemicals and steel to utilities, providing a firmer inflation basis for a BOJ December rate hike. For traders, the focus is on the disruption to yen carry trades from rising rate hike expectations, and on the potential for amplified FX volatility as the US-Japan monetary policy divergence narrows, while also watching the offsetting effect of falling agricultural prices on the overall inflation reading.
