JAPAN: Tokyo CPI Watched for Implications on Underlying Inflation

Reuters wire reports claiming that the Israeli military has identified a missile launched towards Israel from Iran could pose a sizeable risk to the fragile ceasefire that went into effect just hours ago. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich posts on X: "Tehran will tremble". Opposition Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Agivdor Liebermann says "Three and a half hours after the President of the United States declared a ceasefire, firing from Iran into northern Israel. We must not tolerate, we must not refrain, we must respond immediately." 

• A short time ago, the Israeli gov't released an official statement confirming that it had "achieved all of the objectives of Operation Rising Lion, and much more", confirming that "In light of having achieved the objectives of the operation, and in full coordination with President Trump, Israel agrees to the President's proposal for a bilateral ceasefire."It then added "Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire."
• Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said overnight that Iran would stop its actions at 04:00 local time (20:30ET, 01:30BST, 02:30CET).
• Ynet reports comments from the IDF saying it was a single missile fired at northern Israel, adding the projectile was intercepted and "as of this moment, no calls have been received about casualties except for a man who was injured on the way to the protected area."
• It remains to be seen whether such a launch will be viewed as a rogue action or a full violation of the ceasefire, which could see Israel resume strikes on Iranian targets.
