TOKYO (dpa-AFX) - Overall consumer prices in Tokyo were up just 0.4 percent on year in May, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said on Friday.
That was beneath expectations for 0.5 percent, which would have been unchanged.
Core CPI came in at 0.5 percent, also shy of forecasts for 0.6 percent - which again would have been unchanged.
