Latest data released by the Japanese Cabinet Office - 20 March 2018
- Coincident index 114.9 vs 114.0 prelim
Preliminary figures can be found here.
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.
Slightly better on the final figures, but these are non-market movers in all fairness.
USD/JPY near the highs sitting at 106.32, EUR/JPY at 131.18, and GBP/JPY at 149.12.
