STORY: Japan just posted more record figures for tourism. The number of visitors surpassed 3 million in March - the first time they’ve ever gone above that level. Arrivals have been boosted by factors including the weak yen. The Japanese currency is languishing at multi-decade lows versus the dollar, making the country a cheap destination for travellers. That drew tourists to enjoy Japan’s famous cherry blossom season. But if that’s all a big boost for the country’s economy, other numbers out Wednesday paint a less pretty picture. The latest Reuters Tankan index of business sentiment showed the mood turning sour at big companies. Manufacturers and service firms both saw falling confidence in April. Companies cited factors including uncertainty over the outlook for China’s economy, and weak demand among consumers at home. Some said price hikes had stopped shoppers spending. The weak yen is a factor there too, as it’s driven the cost of imports ever higher. The effect showed up in trade figures as well, with exports jumping 7.3% in March, boosted by the helpful exchange rate.

Analysts and investors took that in their stride, noting that the many plants being built globally would need ASML equipment, while adding it would be a problem if new orders didn't come through in the rest of this year.

New bank lending in China rose less than expected in March from the previous month, while broad credit growth hit a record low, boosting the case for the central bank to roll out more stimulus steps to help achieve an ambitious growth target.
The U.S. Federal Reserve will wait until September to cut its key interest rate, according to a majority of 100 economists polled by Reuters, with half saying there will be only two cuts this year and only about a third forecasting more. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also said on Tuesday "the recent data ... indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that confidence" that inflation is falling back to the U.S. central bank's 2% target, remarks that dimmed hopes for rate cuts anytime soon. Financial markets, which earlier this year were pricing six Fed rate cuts starting in March, are also expecting the first reduction in September and one more in either November or December.
