Japan November all industry activity index m/m +1.0% vs +0.8% expected

Latest data released by the Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry Japan (METI) - 23 January 2018

• Prior m/m +0.3%

Slight delay on the data release by METI. But it's a decent reading nonetheless. Not really looked upon though, as with Japanese data figures in general. Today, the BOJ effect is taking precedent.

Often referred to as the monthly GDP reading, it's a tracker production across all sectors of the Japanese economy and follows the GDP growth figures/trend.

USD/JPY now back up to 110.83 while EUR/JPY is now up to 135.86 as the yen gives back some gains following the BOJ announcement earlier to hold monetary policy steady.
