The part I would want to pin down before weighting any early indicator is what it is actually revised toward. Preliminary or partial CPI-type readings can differ from the final official print in coverage and revisions, so the size of a surprise depends on that gap, not just on the headline. Before sizing anything around a BoJ decision, I would ask what the loss looks like if the early read is wrong and the final print lands the other way. I have not checked the current release schedule or revision history on that page, so treat this as a method question rather than a claim about the data.
