Latest data released by the Japanese Cabinet Office - 24 October 2018
- Coincident index 116.7 vs 117.5 prelim
Slight delay in the release by the source. Preliminary figures can be found here. Headline reading comes in close to initial estimates but a slight downtick revision on the coincident index. Not a major release by any means though.
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.
