Japan's current account surplus up 61.9% in Sept

TOKYO —
Japan posted a current account surplus for the third consecutive month in September as a weaker yen helped boost repatriated returns on foreign investment, official data showed Tuesday.
Japan logged a surplus of 963 billion yen in the current account, up 61.9% from a year earlier, the finance ministry said.
It was much bigger than a market median forecast of 532 billion yen.
The current account is the broadest measure of the country’s trade with the rest of the world, measuring not only trade in goods but also services, tourism and returns on foreign investment.
Japan’s deficit in merchandise trade expanded due to higher imports of liquefied natural gas, cell phones and other telecommunications equipment.
But overall income improved with higher gains from equity and other direct investment, as well as from investment in financial items, data showed.
The rise was inflated with a weaker yen, the consequence of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s pro-spending policy and the Bank of Japan’s massive monetary easing.
The Japanese currency was nearly 8% cheaper against the dollar on the monthly average compared with September 2013.
Reuters) - Japan's exports are set to rise for a second straight month in October but at a slower pace than the previous month, a Reuters poll showed, placing a doubt over whether the weak yen has brought about a full-fledged recovery in export growth.
Exports are expected to have risen 4.5 percent in October from a year ago, the poll of 21 economists showed, after a 6.9 percent increase in September.
Imports probably rose 3.4 percent, the poll showed, as domestic demand underwent a sluggish recovery after being hit by an increase in the sales tax in April.
A weak yen inflated import costs.
The poll forecast a trade deficit of 1.05 trillion yen, which would be the 28th straight monthly deficit.
