Takashi Miwa, Research Analyst at Nomura points out that in the September 2018 BOJ Tankan, the current business conditions DI for large manufacturers was +19, a deterioration of 2pt from the previous survey (June), while the DI for large nonmanufacturers was also down 2pt from the previous survey at +22. Key Quotes “While the market consensus forecast had seen a decline in the DI for nonmanufacturers stemming from natural disasters in Jul-Sep (the QUICK survey called for a 1pt deterioration to +23), it had expected the DI for manufacturers to remain flat, so the decline comes as something of a surprise.” “Considering the conspicuous decline for materials (-6pt), we think the deterioration may reflect not only concerns over a global decline in demand stemming from US protectionist trade policies but also caution regarding the recent rise in resource prices.” FX Street FX Street FXStreet is the leading independent portal dedicated to the Foreign Exchange (Forex) market.
