Inflação japonesa acelera em março e pressiona Banco do Japão

O índice de preços ao consumidor do Japão subiu 1,5% em março na comparação anual, ante 1,3% em fevereiro e acima do consenso de mercado de 1,4%. A inflação subjacente, excluindo alimentos frescos, subiu para 1,8%, marcando a primeira aceleração em cinco meses. Os dados persistem apesar dos subsídios governamentais destinados a conter os preços.

A inflação do Japão fortaleceu-se acima das expectativas em março, mesmo com o governo implementando subsídios para moderar os preços ao consumidor. O IPC geral aumentou para 1,5% na comparação anual, superando os 1,4% previstos e subindo em relação aos 1,3% de fevereiro. As medidas subjacentes, excluindo alimentos frescos, atingiram 1,8%, acima dos 1,6% do mês anterior e à frente da previsão de 1,5%. Este é o primeiro aumento na inflação subjacente em cinco meses, conforme reportado pelo Seeking Alpha citando dados oficiais. As pressões sobre os preços parecem estar se expandindo e se intensificando, independentemente das intervenções políticas. O desenvolvimento complica a perspectiva de política monetária do Banco do Japão. Analistas observam que um aumento na taxa de juros em abril permanece possível se o banco central priorizar a ancoragem das expectativas de inflação.
