Japan’s currency weakened for the third time in four days against the greenback after government data showed a bigger-than-expected decline in factory orders, adding to the case for additional central-bank stimulus.
Orders fell 8.8% in April from March after rising for two
months, the Cabinet office said. The median forecast of economists was
for an 8.1% drop.

and it did so, while the more focused bit of data, the claimant change
fell from the previous numbers of -11.8k to -8.6k against a consensus of
-5.0k, which is over all bullish for the pound given expectation could
be for a higher consumer spending count in the long run benefiting
economic growth.
