The manufacturing sector in Japan continued to expand in July, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from Nikkei revealed on Tuesday with a 20-month low manufacturing PMI score of 51.6.
That's down from 53.0 in June, although it remains above the boom-or-bust line of 50- that separates expansion from contraction.
Individually, input and output price inflation both accelerated to multi-year highs, while business confidence dipped noticeably.
