TOKYO (dpa-AFX) - Producer prices in Japan were up 0.2 percent on month in July, the Bank of Japan said on Wednesday.

On a yearly basis, producer prices rose 2.6 percent - exceeding forecasts for 2.5 percent and down from 2.9 percent in the previous month.
Export prices were up 0.3 percent on month and down 1.1 percent on year, the bank said, while import prices rose 1.1 percent on month and slumped 5.1 percent on year.
