日本9月企业服务价格同比上涨3.7%：升幅高于8月修正后的3.5%，日本银行周五议息料按兵不动
日本银行10月27日公布的数据显示，日本9月企业服务价格指数同比上涨3.7%，升幅高于8月修正后的3.5%。据路透社报道，该指数追踪企业之间相互收取的服务价格，是衡量日本服务业通胀的关键指标，显示价格压力正在累积，可能使日本银行继续走在进一步加息的轨道上。
这项数据受到日本银行密切关注，可从中观察企业把不断上涨的劳动力成本转嫁到服务价格上的程度。日本银行将于周五结束为期两天的政策会议，市场预计其将把利率维持在1.25%不变，但会释放信号表明，随着价格压力上升，央行准备继续提高借贷成本。
汇市方面，财务大臣片山皋月10月27日在国会答问时表示，政府已准备好在外汇市场采取果断行动。她说：「我们正以高度紧迫感密切注视市场动向，包括现在。」她是在被问及政府财政政策可能对日元汇率与长期利率走势的影响时作上述表示的。
Japan's September Corporate Services Prices Rise 3.7 Percent Year on Year, Up From a Revised 3.5 Percent in August
Japan's services producer price index rose 3.7 percent in September from a year earlier, data from the Bank of Japan showed on Tuesday, October 27, a sign of mounting price pressures that will likely keep the central bank on track for further interest rate hikes, Reuters reported. The year-on-year rise in the index, which tracks the prices companies charge each other for services, followed a revised 3.5 percent gain in August.
The data is closely watched by the Bank of Japan for clues on the extent to which companies are passing on rising labour costs to service-related prices. The BOJ is set to keep interest rates steady at 1.25 percent at a two-day meeting concluding on Friday, but to signal its readiness to continue raising borrowing costs as price pressures build.
On currency markets, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama told parliament on Tuesday that the government stood ready to take decisive action in the currency market. 'We are always watching market moves, including now, with a high sense of urgency,' Katayama said, when asked about the impact the administration's fiscal policy could have on the yen and long-term interest rate moves.
