Japan’s flash PMI data for June showed a rebound in overall business activity, though analysts said the momentum may be temporary.
According to Jin10, S&P Global’s June flash PMI for Japan indicated the first improvement in overall activity since the outbreak of the Middle East war. The seasonally adjusted composite output index rose to 52.5 in June from 51.1 in May, suggesting stronger demand.
Annabel Fiddes of S&P Global Market Intelligence said part of the pickup was driven by war-related restocking demand. She said the boost could fade as inventories are replenished and cost pressures intensify.
The survey also showed input costs recorded their largest increase in nearly four years, Fiddes added, pushing up average selling prices. The report said issues including inflation and supply-chain disruptions continued to weigh on companies’ outlook.
