MNI DATA IMPACT: Feb Tokyo Core CPI Slows; Service Prices Up 

     TOKYO (MNI) - The annual consumer inflation rate in Tokyo, a leading
indicator of the national average, slowed down in February, propped up by high
prices for food ex-perishables and services, data from the Ministry of Internal
Affairs and Communications showed Friday.
     The key points from the latest Tokyo CPI data:
     --The Tokyo core consumer price index (excluding fresh food) rose 0.5% y/y
in February, weaker than the MNI median economist forecast of 0.6% y/y. This was
the 32st straight y/y rise following 0.7% y/y growth in January.
     --Energy costs dipped further by -3.0% y/y from -1.3% y/y recorded in
January. This contributed a negative 0.16 percentage points to total Tokyo CPI,
higher than a negative 0.07 percentage points in the previous month.
     --Processed food prices rose by 2.0% y/y, compared with January's 1.9% y/y
gain, pushing up the total CPI by 0.41 percentage points, the same as for last
month.
     --Prices for eating-out rose 3.4% y/y in February following +3.5% in
January, marking the biggest hike among service prices.
     --The core-core CPI (excluding fresh food and energy) -- a key indicator in
the underlying trend of inflation -- rose 0.7% y/y in February in Tokyo, slower
than 0.9% for the previous month.
