The actual Tokyo Core CPI figure of 2.5% fell short of the analyst estimate of 2.8%, suggesting a weaker-than-expected inflationary environment. This discrepancy may lead to a muted reaction in the stock market, particularly affecting sectors sensitive to inflation expectations, such as consumer goods and financials. The market impact is likely to be short-term, driven by sentiment rather than altering long-term policy expectations.
