2026-09-16

Description

The Japan Export Value Month-over-Month (MoM) Change is released by the Ministry of Finance (MOF). This indicator measures the percentage change in the value of Japanese merchandise exports compared to the previous month. It serves as a key barometer for assessing the strength of Japan's external sector and the overall health of its economy. A positive percentage indicates an increase in export value, which is generally favorable, while a negative percentage signifies a decrease, potentially signaling economic challenges.

The data is updated monthly and is typically released mid-month, reflecting export values from the previous month.

AI Data Insight

Japan's export value month-over-month (MoM) growth rate for Q3 2026 (July) plummeted to -12.69%, turning negative from the previous value of 5.36%, indicating a sudden drop in short-term momentum. Although external data shows the year-over-year (YoY) growth rate still reached 23.2% and exceeded expectations, the plunge in the MoM growth rate highlights that single-month export performance fell short of expectations. Going forward, close attention must be paid to the tug-of-war between Middle East geopolitics and AI semiconductor demand.
