The slump in Japanese business confidence deepened in May, hitting decade lows as firms braced for a protracted period of coronavirus-driven economic weakness, the Reuters Tankan survey showed on Wednesday.

The downbeat findings came after data this week showed the world’s third-largest economy slipped into its first recession in 4-1/2 years last quarter, as the broadening impact of the highly contagious virus depressed business and consumer activity at home and abroad.

The survey showed both manufacturers and service-sector firms expected to see an even sharper fall in business sentiment in the three months ahead, at minus 51 and minus 48 in August, respectively. A manager at a construction firm said: “There’s plenty of construction work at hand, although private capital investment is decreasing.”

The Japanese look bleaker? Let me get this straight - the origins of tentacles copulating with underage school girls? They live on a volcano surrounded by dictators and are prone to natural disasters. They have men marrying software programs today. They're looking bleaker? Lol
