Japan core inflation seen above BOJ target; India trade deficit at one-year high
Reuters reports a poll expecting Japan's core inflation above the BOJ target for a second month, and India's October trade deficit at $39.88 billion.
What happened
Two macroeconomic items were reported by Reuters on the same day. A Reuters poll indicates that Japan's core inflation is expected to have stayed above the Bank of Japan's target in October, for a second month in a row.
Separately, Reuters reports that India's trade deficit for October reached $39.88 billion, the highest level in one year. The news agency links the widening gap to a jump in gold imports.
Context
Core inflation is a measure that central banks such as the Bank of Japan watch closely when assessing their price-stability goals. A trade deficit occurs when a country's imports exceed its exports.
Why it matters
Inflation trends in Japan and trade balances in India can shape how investors assess monetary policy and external accounts in two of Asia's largest economies.
