what happened

According to TradingView, which cites MNI, Japanese exports rose 16.7% year on year in September. The increase in August was 19.3%, so growth slowed noticeably in September.

The report does not include export values in yen or dollars, nor a breakdown by destination or product.

why it matters

Trade data matter for assessing Japan's economy and the yen. Slower export growth can signal weaker overseas demand for Japanese goods, and investors usually weigh such figures against Bank of Japan policy and moves in USD/JPY.
