TOKYO--Sentiment among large Japanese manufacturers improved during the three months to June, with a weak yen giving a boost to exporters' earnings made overseas.
The main index for sentiment among large manufacturers was +13, compared with +11 in March, according to the Bank of Japan's quarterly tankan corporate survey released Monday. That was slightly higher than economists' forecast for +12 and marked the highest level since March 2022.
The index represents the percentage of companies who said business conditions were favorable minus those who said conditions were unfavorable.
