JAPAN: Per RTRS: "Japan is likely to revise its economic assessment up slightly

at its monthly report for July, government officials said, nodding to growing

signs the economy is gradually emerging from the impact of the coronavirus

pandemic. The change in assessment, which would be the second straight month of

upgrade, would reflect a rebound in service-sector sentiment and signs of

recovery in exports to China, the officials told Reuters on condition of

anonymity as they were not authorised to speak publicly. In June, the government

said that the economy was in a severe state but that it was showing signs of

bottoming out."
