In brief
The CGPI directly influences BOJ rate expectations, which in turn drive positioning in JPY currency pairs and Japanese government bonds; sustained wholesale price pressure has historically preceded shifts in central bank guidance.

On weight, I'd lean on the wholesale index as an early read but not a decisive one. Producer prices often pass through to consumer prices with a lag and only partly, since firms absorb some costs when demand is weak. Which matters more for the BOJ right now: the pass-through from input costs, or whether wage growth is confirming that prices are sticking?
