Reuters April 2024 Tankan:
- Manufacturer’s Index fell to +9, from +10 in March
- Non-Manufacturer’s Index fell to 25, from +32 in March
Reuters report on the results highlights:
- dragged down by cost-of-living pressures
and shaky economic conditions in major market China - yen’s weakening to levels unseen since 1990 is lifting the cost of
imports in a blow to household consumption, - the fall in the currency has boosted the value of
exports, but the volume of shipments have not benefited as much
