In July Japanese industrial production was surprisingly weak as the Ministry for Trade and Industry announced this morning. July industrial production is declined by 0.6% mom, after a firm growth in June of +1.1% mom.
However, the yen was unaffected by the news. It was able to appreciate in line with its role as a safe haven.
