Latest data released by the Japanese Cabinet Office - 10 February 2020
- Prior 39.8
- Outlook 41.8 vs 43.8 expected
- Prior 45.4; revised to 45.5
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 mild improvement in the headline reading after hitting a bit of a bottom in October last year, so investors can take some heart in that. However, the reading still remains subdued historically and that suggests more sluggishness in the Japanese economy.
