Later this week is big for inflation data. First the Tokyo core CPI, which ticked up to 3.5% at the last count, will be closely watched after last week’s national core-core reading came in at a 40-year high. Then it’s on to the US PCE inflation report. The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy, the ‘core’ index that is the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, rose 0.3% in March from the prior month and 4.6% from a year earlier.
