Share Print 0

Confidence at big Japanese manufacturers worsened in the three months to March and is seen falling further ahead, a closely watched central bank survey showed on Friday.

The headline index for big manufacturers’ sentiment stood at plus 6 in March, down from plus 12 seen three months ago, the Bank of Japan’s quarterly “tankan” survey showed.

That compared with the median estimate of plus 8 in a Reuters poll of economists.
