Japan Manufacturing PMI Slows to 7-Month Low of 53.3 in October
The S&P Global Japan Manufacturing PMI slowed to 53.3 in October 2026, down from the 54.1 recorded in September. This figure represents the weakest pace of expansion for the Japanese manufacturing sector since March, aligning with preliminary estimates. The deceleration is primarily attributed to cooling demand within the industry. While the reading remains above the 50.0 threshold—indicating continued growth—the downward trend suggests a softening momentum in industrial activity across Japan.
