showed Tuesday that the industrial production in Japan fell 1.5 percent m-o-m
in July. Economists had forecast a drop of 2.5 percent m-o-m after a 6.5 percent
m-o-m surge in June

contributors to the July decrease were lower production in such industries as motor

machinery, pulp, paper & paper products, and electronic parts & devices
had a positive impact on the reading.

percent climb in June.
