JAPAN: From the flash Japan manufacturing PMI print (49.5 vs. Mar 49.2):
- 2Japan's manufacturing sector remained stuck in its rut at the start of Q2,
with the factors which have prohibited any growth such as US-Sino relations,
growth fears in China and the turn in the global trade cycle, all remaining
prominent risks. Export orders dipped at a stronger rate in April, domestic
demand for goods was similarly weak and firms cut their stocks and scaled back
production. Yet again, the service sector will need to pick up any slack to help
keep Japan's economy afloat."
