Japan’s inflation slumps to zero

YEREVAN, August 28, /ARKA/. The Bank of Japan’s key inflation gauge slumped to zero for the third time this year, as tumbling energy prices counter Governor Haruhiko Kuroda’s effort to reflate the world’s third-biggest economy, vestifinance.ru reported citing Bloomberg.

Consumer prices excluding fresh food were unchanged in July from a year earlier, the Statistic Bureau said on Friday. Economists in a Bloomberg survey had forecast a 0.2 percent drop.

Other data for July released Friday provide a mixed picture for the start of the third quarter. Household spending unexpectedly fell, retail sales rose 0.6 percent from June, bouncing back from a 0.8 percent drop, while the job market remained tight. The job-to-applicant ratio rose to 1.21.
