Free AccessMNI 5 THINGS: Japan Nov Consumer Confidence Down On Econ Fears
--Japan Nov Consumer Confidence Index 42.9 Vs Oct 43.0
--Japan Govt Keeps View: Consumer Confidence shows weak moves
TOKYO (MNI) - Japan's consumer confidence index hit a near two-year low in
November, falling 0.1 point to 42.9 on a seasonally adjusted basis, the second
straight month-on-month drop, according to the Consumer Confidence Survey
released by the Cabinet Office Friday.
November's 42.9 is the lowest level since December 2016 when it stood at
42.8.
The fall came on concerns over a worsening of the economy, with ongoing
global trade friction and labour market situation cited as factors, the survey
suggested.
--The Cabinet Office maintained its overall assessment, saying, "Consumer
confidence showed weak moves."
--Consumers were more optimistic about two of the four key aspects that
affect income gains and whether it would be a good time to buy durable goods
over the next six months.
--Consumers were more pessimistic about two of the four key aspects that
affect sentiment -- overall economic well-being and jobs prospects. The
sub-index on job prospects marked the second straight m/m drop.
--The index on asset prices, which is not one of the sub-indexes used to
calculate overall consumer confidence, showed the second straight month-on-month
fall in four months, down 0.6 points to 42.6 after falling 0.2 point the
previous month.
--The survey also showed that the public's inflation expectations for 12
months ahead rose, the fourth straight rise. The share of those projecting price
rises increased to 84.5% in November from 82.9% in October. The share of
respondents forecasting lower prices increased to 3.7% from 3.4%.
