🇯🇵 Japan just hit a historic inflation turning point.
For the first time since 1979, Japan’s consumer inflation has edged above the U.S.—something few would have predicted after decades of ultra-low prices.
Latest snapshot:
🇯🇵 Japan CPI: ~2.8% YoY
🇺🇸 U.S. CPI: ~2.7% YoY
This isn’t a minor data blip—it points to a major regime shift 😱
For years, Japan struggled with deflation, weak wage growth, and sluggish demand. Now inflation is holding above the Bank of Japan’s 2% target, forcing markets to rethink long-standing assumptions.
Why this matters:
• Price increases are being driven by wage growth, not just imported inflation
• The Bank of Japan faces growing pressure to normalize policy, potentially ending negative rates and yield-curve control
• Persistent inflation could strengthen the yen, reshape bond markets, and redirect global capital flows
• Investors are reassessing Japan’s role as a source of cheap capital and low yields
• After decades of deflationary thinking, inflation psychology is shifting—and that’s hard to reverse ❤️
