Output contracted for the 1st time in 5 months, albeit only marginally, while new orders shrank for the 1st time in 10 months and the steepest drop in 20 months. Meanwhile, employment fell, with the rate of job creation easing, on the back of a slower accumulation in backlogs of work. On the price front, input cost inflation accelerated to the sixth-fastest in the survey history, while output price inflation eased. Meantime, the latest lengthening in delivery times was the softest for nearly a year. Finally, sentiment remained positive, amid hopes that price, supply and exchange rate pressures would ease, and enable a broad recovery in demand and production levels. source: Markit Economics

Japan Manufacturing PMI
The Jibun Bank Japan Manufacturing PMI® is compiled by IHS Markit from responses to monthly questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 400 manufacturers. The panel is stratified by detailed sector and company workforce size, based on contributions to GDP. Survey responses indicate the direction of change compared to the previous month. A diffusion index is calculated for each survey variable. The index is the sum of the percentage of ‘higher’ responses and half the percentage of ‘unchanged’ responses. The indices vary between 0 and 100, with a reading above 50 indicating an overall increase compared to the previous month, and below 50 an overall decrease. The PMI is a weighted average of the following five indices: New Orders (30%), Output (25%), Employment (20%), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15%) and Stocks of Purchases (10%). For the PMI calculation the Suppliers’ Delivery Times Index is inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction to the other indices.
