Japan's Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased to 2.0%, surpassing market expectations.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is anticipated to raise its interest rate from 1.0% to 1.25% on September 17, potentially accelerating its rate hike pace.

If implemented, this would mark the highest interest rates in Japan since the 1990s.
