India, Aug. 21 -- Japan's headline inflation accelerated to a seven-month high in July on rising food and energy prices, strengthening the expectations for a September interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan.
Japan's private sector expanded at the fastest pace in six months in August driven by a steeper increase in new orders, survey data from S&P Global showed Friday.
Inflation rose to 1.9 percent in July from revised 1.6 percent in June, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications reported.
