-- 東京通膨再次失去動力,凸顯了日本央行在物價壓力不均衡上升的情況下所面臨的困境。 4月份,東京核心消費者物價指數(CPI)上漲1.5%,為四年來最低增速,連續第三個月低於央行2%的目標。 這一數據標誌著連續第五個月放緩,且低於市場預期。剔除生鮮食品和能源價格的窄幅CPI(同樣受到政策制定者的密切關注)上漲1.9%,也較上月回落。 通膨數據疲軟部分反映了政府的燃油補貼和一些一次性因素,例如托兒所費用的大幅下降,以及耐用品和加工食品價格漲幅的放緩。能源價格持續下降,但速度有所放緩。 然而,這種平靜可能不會持續。與中東衝突相關的油價上漲和日圓走軟預計將在未來幾個月推高進口成本。 前景已經使政策決策變得更加複雜。 日本央行本週以分歧的表決結果維持利率不變,儘管一些官員傾向於收緊貨幣政策。行長上田一夫釋放出彈性訊號,表示在經濟成長風險加劇的情況下,央行仍將留有觀望空間。 匯率波動也為局勢增添了新的變數。日圓兌美元匯率一度跌至160日圓附近,當局隨即介入外匯市場支撐日圓,凸顯了市場對日圓持續疲軟可能進一步推高進口成本的擔憂。 彭博經濟學家木村太郎表示:“我們預計日本央行將防範通膨超調。這增強了6月份升息25個基點的可能性,但最新數據顯示,加息遠未確定。” “央行也在密切關注伊朗戰爭帶來的不確定性,以及在原油價格緊縮的情況下,政府支持經濟成長的意願。”
