Japanese exports slide for six consecutive months as yen surges



Japan's exports declined for sixth straight months last month, attributing it to disappointing demand for electronic parts, sluggish Chinese economic growth, and firmer yen. The Ministry of Finance said exports skidded 6.8% in March from 4.0% slide in February. Year-over-year, exports to the United States slid 5.1%, to Asia 9.7%, and China 7.1%. But exports to the European Union rose 12.1%, its highest since February 2011. The US dollar has erased about 10% versus the yen on speculations the Federal Reserve would slowly raise interest rates, prodding cautions from BOJ policymakers against investors on gliding the currency too swiftly.

China halts new registration of finance institutions - Caixin



China stopped the registration of new finance companies as authorities have begun restraining online finance, according to Caixin. Citing sources privy to the matter, entities with finance-related names can no longer register with the State Administration for Industry & Commerce. Instead, companies will first have to secure approvals from Chinese regulators. Clearing the Internet finance, which commenced on April 14 and will end by January 2016, seeks to eradicate fraudulent acts by some peer-to-peer lenders that endanger financial soundness nationwide. Caixin said the Chinese government will recall licenses for current finance companies that fail inspections during the process.

BOJ retains monetary stimulus to evaluate impact of negative rates



Citing the need to evaluate the extent of negative interest rates, the Bank of Japan decided against bolstering monetary stimulus. Policymakers voted to retain the 0.1% negative rate on parts of deposits kept at the BOJ, the ¥80 trillion ($715 billion) goal for beefing up monetary base, and expand the program for purchasing more perilous assets. The BOJ also adjusted the timetable for hitting the 2% inflation goal, the fourth postponement in around a year. Market players will now turn their attention to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is awaited whether to postpone sales tax increase in April 2017.
