Latest data released by the Japanese Cabinet Office - 25 June 2018
- Coincident index 117.5 vs 117.7 prior
Slight delay in the release by the source. Preliminary figures can be found here.
The index is used as a reference to economic conditions, but most of the indicators used to make up the index has already been released individually - so there isn't much of an impact on this release.
The index basically measures up employment data, consumer confidence, production, housing, and stock market data, etc as its leading indicators to derive the number.
Slight improvement in the headline reading for the leading index, not a major data point by any means but it's a good uptick to have in Q2 for Japanese data.
