Japan CPI Index

Japan consumer price index (OECD MEI, 2015=100); the key deflation/inflation gauge for the world's third-largest economy.

Japan CPI Index is part of the Asia Pacific Inflation category. Asia Pacific macro diverges meaningfully from U.S. cycles. Japan's multi-decade disinflation, Korea's export-driven industrial cycle, and Australia's commodity-tilted economy each respond to different drivers. Monitoring the region alongside U.S. data reveals when a global story (the China credit cycle, the semiconductor cycle, global trade growth) is the real variable behind seemingly U.S.-centric moves.

Japan CPI Index is updated once per month when the releasing agency publishes new data. Each metric page on Convex shows the exact time of the last data update and provides historical data going back up to five years.

Convex sources Japan CPI Index data from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) API, maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Data is fetched automatically and displayed alongside interactive charts, AI analysis, and historical context.

The Japan CPI Index page includes an interactive chart with selectable time ranges (1 month to 5 years), percentage changes over multiple timeframes, a table of recent readings, AI-generated analysis, and links to related metrics and comparisons.
