Japan Tokyo Core CPI 1.7% y/y , below expected and prior both 1.8%

I'll have more to come on this separately. ADDED, here:

• Tokyo inflation cools further but underlying price pressures remain intact

In brief, less pressure on the BoJ to hike with these numbers:

• Tokyo area March core CPI rises at slowest pace since April 2024
• Tokyo area March core-core CPI rises at slowest pace since March 2025
• Tokyo area March overall CPI rises at slowest pace since March 2022
