Japan’s government keeps its economic assessment unchanged in May
The Japanese Cabinet Office said in its report on Monday, the government kept its view on the economy unchanged for the third straight month in May.
Key takeaways
The Japanese economy is recovering at a moderate pace, although it recently appears to be pausing.
Industrial production shows movements of picking up recently, although manufacturing activities declined due to the effects of the suspension of production and shipment by some automotive manufacturers.
There were signs of a pick-up in factory output, upgrading its assessment of this metric for the first time since May last year.
The change in the assessment on industrial output may suggest that these temporary headwinds to factory activity likely have eased.
Market reaction
Despite the upbeat report, the Japanese Yen loses its recovery momentum against the US Dollar. At the time of writing, the USD/JPY pair is trading around 156.90, down 0.05% on the day.
