Japan created another trade deficit in September, versus forecasts for a gain, as exports faltered.<\/p>\n

The trade gap was Y114.5bn, against expectations for a Y87bn surplus. This is the sixth monthly deficit in a row.
\nExports underwhelmed, rising just 0.6 per cent from a year ago, versus expectations for a 3.8 per cent gain.<\/p>\n

Imports retreated by 11.1 per cent, a deeper loss than a -3.1 per cent pace in August but slightly better than forecasts for a -12 per cent decline.<\/p>\n

Falling imports and wobbly exports indicate the economy continued to struggle at the end of the third quarter, reinforcing forecasts that the economy may have fallen into another recession.<\/p>\n

The figures are likely to increase calls for further stimulus from the Bank of Japan, though officials haven\u2019t offered any clues that such a move is at all likely.<\/p>

Details from the report show exports to the US and EU were up 10.4 per cent and 5.1 per cent from a year ago, respectively, but exports to Asia fell by 0.9 per cent, including a 3.5 per cent decline to China.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lift from the cheap yen is fading, while struggling Chinese demand has proved a significant regional drag,\u201d said Moody\u2019s Analytics before the release. \u201cThe import bill will continue increasing in September because of the weaker yen and stabilising oil prices.\u201d<\/p>\n
