Japanese industrial output rose for a fourth month in a row in June and is expected to keep climbing as electronics manufacturers, steelmakers and chemical producers restart production lines halted during the country’s sharpest post-war slump.
Preliminary data released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on Thursday showed June industrial production was up 2.4 per cent from May, less than half the revised 5.7 per cent growth recorded the previous month but broadly in line with economists’ expectations.
