Business confidence worsens for Japan’s big manufacturers
Sentiment for Japan’s big manufacturers worsened in the July-September quarter, according to the Bank of Japan’s latest quarterly tankan business sentiment survey.
The main index for confidence in large manufacturers came in at 8, down from the previous quarter’s reading of 9. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a print of 11.
