Financial and commodity markets analytics


Japan's economy contracted less than previously expected. The main driver of the revision was an improvement in consumption figures. However, this was due to the inclusion of new data on the restaurant and gaming sector, which calls into question the objectivity of this assessment. Analysts believe that the revision does not change the overall picture - economic growth is slowing down. Also, uncertainty remains due to US tariff policy, especially the possible imposition of 25 percent duties on Japanese cars from July. This makes future negotiations with Washington critical for Tokyo.Nevertheless, after the USD/JPY pair rose to 145.00, the quotes resumed their decline at the beginning of the week amid the general weakening of the US dollar. The 142.00-143.00 range remains a local support zone.
