JPY Japan Average Cash Earnings y/yAverage Cash Earnings y/y Forecast 3.8%Previous 3.8%
- What it is
- This measures the change in average total pay for workers in Japan, including bonuses and overtime, compared with a year earlier. It is published by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
- Why it matters
- The Bank of Japan (BoJ) watches wages because sustained pay growth supports inflation and can influence interest rate decisions. The release is usually of medium to high importance for JPY pairs.
- Usual market reaction
- Prices tend to react to the actual figure compared with the forecast. A higher-than-forecast result usually supports the yen, as markets may see a greater chance of a BoJ rate hike, while a lower one usually weighs on it. The reaction can vary depending on what else is going on in the market.
