Latest data released by Japan's METI - 11 September 2018
- Prior -0.5%; revised to -0.6%
Slight delay in the release by the source. The statistic basically measures the total value of services purchased by Japanese businesses over the month. A minor data point, not one that will move the yen or markets in general.
The yen has been relatively soft to start the day as Asian risk sentiment and equities seem to be in a better mood today. The Nikkei is currently up 1.1% and that is part of what is helping to keep yen pairs underpinned as well.
