初步估计显示,日本领先的经济指数——根据就业机会和消费者信心等指标衡量未来几个月的前景——从8月份的五个月低点107.0升至2025年9月的108.0。最新数据为1月以来的最高水平,略高于市场预测的107.9,这得益于家庭支出的强劲增长,家庭支出增长了1.8%,这是连续第五个月增长,尽管增速比上月有所放缓。这表明消费者活动持续复苏。与此同时,10月份的消费者信心攀升至10个月来的最高水平。另一方面,9月份的失业率仍为2.6%,为2024年7月以来的最高水平,而就业率则升至四个月来的最高点。
Japan’s leading economic index — which gauges the outlook for the coming months based on indicators such as job offers and consumer sentiment — rose to 108.0 in September 2025 from August’s five-month low of 107.0, preliminary estimates showed. The latest reading was the highest since January and slightly above market forecasts of 107.9, supported by stronger household spending, which increased 1.8%, marking the fifth consecutive month of gains, though at a softer pace than in the previous month. This indicated a continued recovery in consumer activity. Meanwhile, consumer confidence in October climbed to its highest level in ten months. On the other hand, the unemployment rate remained at 2.6% in September — the highest since July 2024 — while employment rose to a four-month high.
