headline National CPI 0.5% y/y,
expected 0.6%, prior was 0.8%
CPI excluding Fresh Food 0.2% y/y,
expected 0.3%, prior was 0.5%
CPI excluding Food, Energy -1.1% y/y,
expected -0.7%, prior was -0.7% (energy prices soaring, once they are removed from the headline CPI its another negative result)
this measure of Japanese inflation is closest to the US 'core' CPI
Reminder, the Bank of Japan target for core inflation is 2%
