Bank of Japan said core inflation may remain within a range consistent with the bank's target.

日本9月季调后零售销售月率 -0.7%，预期0.30%，前值由-1.20%修正为-0.90%。

Analyst Mark Schroers says the ECB maintained its risk assessment—inflation faces upside risks while growth faces downside risks—and left language on future policy unchanged. The statement stressed two market-relevant points: underlying inflation has so far remained broadly stable and wages have not yet shown a clear response; and financing conditions have tightened since the last Governing Council meeting, which could curb inflation and weigh on growth. Moody's euro-area research head Camille Kovar said the statement’s tone is dovish and that such wording would not be used if the bank were preparing to embark on a broad tightening cycle.
