Jun 26, 2014 (Reuters) - Japan's core consumer prices rose 3.4 percent in May from a year earlier, the fastest since April 1982, as an increase in the national sales tax continued to boost prices, data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications showed on Friday.
The increase in the core consumer price index, which excludes volatile prices of fresh food but includes prices of oil products, matched the median estimate by economists. It followed a 3.2 percent rise in April.
The Bank of Japan has estimated that the sales tax hike - to 8 percent from 5 percent on April 1 - would add 1.7 percentage points to annual consumer inflation in April, and 2.0 points from the following month. The internal affairs ministry does not provide official estimates.

The Supreme Court of Canada has given aboriginal groups a major victory, expanding their rights to claim possession of ancestral lands and control those lands permanently.
�The right to control the land conferred by Aboriginal title means that governments and others seeking to use the land must obtain the consent of the Aboriginal title holders,� the court said in an 8-0 ruling written by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin. �If the Aboriginal group does not consent to the use, the government�s only recourse is to establish that the proposed incursion on the land is justified� under the Constitution. more

Inflation is whatever the authorities want it to be.

Statement from BoE Financial Stability Report, quote:
1. " to set from october loan to income ratio at 4.5 for 85 pct of new mortgages".
2. "new cap would apply to lenders who grant more than 100 mln stg of home loans a year".
3. "home loans granted from today but completed from october will count towards total volume for setting planned cap".
4. "toughens affordability tests for new home loans from thursday by taking into account potentially higher interest rates".
5. "most lenders already operate within the lti cap".
6. "does not believe that household indebtedness poses an immediate threat to stability, measures aimed to insure against this risk".
7. "eight top uk lenders must maintain core equity ratio of 7 pct, leverage
ratio of 3 pct".
8. "sets first formal countercyclical capital buffer for banks at 0 pct".
Earlier, BoE's Carney begins his news conference n says, quote:
'the biggest risk to the UK economy relate to the housing mkt;
it is not the FPCI's role to control house prices;
the FPC is concerned that a marked loosening in underwriting standards n increase in household debt cud pose major risk;
today's measures shud not constrain current housing activity, actions will bite if sustained momentum in housing mkt;
these measures will prevent slide into riskier lending, higher indebtedness; monetary policy does not need to be diverted to address a sector-specific risk in the housing mkt;
today's actions don't affect the central outlook for the economy;
today's actions are less likely to have implications for monetary policy path, which anticipates limited n gradual rate rises;
we expect the momentum in the housking mkt to continue for the next year or so;
this is the limit of our tolerance on the housing mkt, if we need to recalibrate, we will.'

The publication of the Financial Stability Report this morning takes on added importance as the recommendations of the latest FPC meeting will be published at the same time. Following the introduction of the Mortgage Market Review, the markets will be watching to see whether the FPC put forward other recommendations to address possible exuberance at the top end of the housing market (mostly targeted at London). Some lenders have already announced limits on high value mortgage multiples, although recent hints from the Chancellor and the Governor suggest other measures may be forthcoming.

What's with the headline reporting?
Who cares when the news is crap we'll just report what we want. Same story with U.S. GDP and Durable Goods - both terrible. But we are told don't worry GDP is old data and Durable Goods only shrank because of reduced military spending. Yeah right but when your entire economy is basically a military machine (U.S. take a bow) then you can not just discount reduced military spending as irrelevant to the economy. What I loved most about U.S. GDP was the 8 percent fall in exports.... I guess Kerry strong arming U.S. allies to buy all those defective fighter jets won't show up in the data for a while.

102 is very important as a 10 day pattern trading around it was broken on Wednesday - this often leads to a directional move so something to watch for unless 102 trades again.
This runs contrary to a market that still holds out hope for 105+ but hard getting there without help from the BoJ
