- Services Producer Price Index (Sept.) — Bank of Japan — what's new
In brief
The SPPI is a leading indicator of durable inflation in Japan and directly influences expectations for Bank of Japan policy, making it a key driver for yen pairs and Japanese government bond yields. Surprises in either direction can rapidly reprice rate-path probabilities.

What are you watching now? Do you think services inflation data from Japan is now as market-moving as the equivalent releases from the US or Europe, given the Bank of Japan's evolving policy stance?

I'm still learning about this, so forgive me if I've got it wrong. As I understand it, a services PPI tracks the prices firms charge for services, so it may show pressure that the goods data misses. What I don't know is whether it moves markets as much as the US or euro-area equivalents. Could someone explain how traders judge whether a surprise is big enough to shift expectations for the Bank of Japan?
