Japan’s exports rise as weak yen helps ahead of BOJ meet

Japan’s exports recorded a notable rise in November, driven by the weakened yen and robust overseas demand, adding momentum to the nation’s trade recovery. Shipments grew 6.2% year-on-year, exceeding forecasts, with significant contributions from the automotive and semiconductor sectors. The surge reflects the currency’s role in bolstering Japan’s price competitiveness in key global markets, especially in the U.S. and Europe.

This export rebound comes as the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) upcoming policy meeting garners attention. Speculation is growing about whether the BOJ will adjust its ultra-loose monetary policy, which has contributed to the yen’s prolonged weakness. While policymakers have emphasized the benefits of a weaker currency for exports, they are increasingly grappling with inflation pressures that could influence their next steps.

Imports, meanwhile, declined for the first time since 2020, dropping 3.4% amid easing energy costs. This helped narrow Japan’s trade deficit, providing relief for an economy still adjusting to fluctuating commodity prices. The improved trade balance could strengthen the BOJ’s argument for maintaining current monetary policies while addressing inflation concerns.

Investors are now focused on how the BOJ will balance economic stability with the risks of prolonged yen depreciation. Any signals of a policy shift could ripple across global markets, particularly as Japan’s export-driven recovery solidifies amid uncertain economic conditions.
