Japanese factory data released this week indicates strength in the manufacturing sector, suggesting that ongoing trade tensions have not yet had a significant negative impact.

Industrial production showed a solid increase of 1.6% in the preliminary estimate, slightly below the prior month’s 2.0% gain. Meanwhile, capacity utilisation rose sharply, with a 3.3% increase compared to the earlier preliminary figure of 2.5%.

For forex traders, these figures highlight underlying industrial resilience in Japan, which may support the yen and influence trading decisions related to Japanese assets.
