Latest data released by the Japanese Cabinet Office - 25 September 2018

  • Coincident index 116.1 vs 116.3 prelim

Slight delay in the release by the source. Preliminary readings can be found here. Slightly better than the preliminary reading on the headline but still a dip relative to June. Low tier data 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.
