This one slipped by late on Monday from Japan .... just doing a bit of a catch up:
From the Japan Center for Economic Research on Monday, reported (very, very briefly) in the Nikkei: Japan's economy shrank 0.1% in June
- Japan's real gross domestic product contracted 0.1% from the previous month in June
- Declining for a third consecutive month
- Real personal spending decreased 0.4% to slip into negative territory
- Capital spending dropped 1.4%, declining for the second month in a row and weighing down the overall economy
