Japon L'Indice Économique Avancé

Japan’s leading economic indicators index, which gauges the economic outlook for the coming months based on data such as job offers and consumer sentiment, declined to 107.0 in November 2024 from October's three-month high of 109.1, preliminary data showed. It was the lowest reading since August, as the unemployment rate remained steady at 2.5% in November, after hitting its eight-month low in September, despite employment showing a moderate upward trend during the month. Additionally, household spending continued to fall, though it eased compared to October. Consumer sentiment slightly improved from a five-month low in October.
