Japan factory output seen up for 4th straight month, recovery slow

Japan’s industrial production is expected to have risen for a fourth consecutive month in March albeit at a modest pace, a Reuters survey showed, in a sign that factory output is recovering slowly as exports struggle to gain momentum.

The median forecast was for a 0.4 per cent rise from the previous month, which would follow a 0.6 per cent increase in February and a 0.3 per cent rise in January. The figures are due on Tuesday.
