Latest data released by the Japanese Cabinet Office - 9 July 2018
- Prior 47.1
- Outlook 50.0 vs 50.1 expected
- Prior 49.2
Slight delay in the release by the source. The reading is a survey on workers to measure up consumer spending and current economic conditions.
A little bit of an improvement for June conditions and that will at least give a bit of comfort to the BOJ and Japanese authorities. A minor data point though. The yen is among the weaker performers today alongside the dollar, as equities rally and bond yields rise to start the new week.
