Japanese exports slide for six consecutive months as yen surges

Japan's exports declined for sixth straight months last month, attributing it to disappointing demand for electronic parts, sluggish Chinese economic growth, and firmer yen. The Ministry of Finance said exports skidded 6.8% in March from 4.0% slide in February. Year-over-year, exports to the United States slid 5.1%, to Asia 9.7%, and China 7.1%. But exports to the European Union rose 12.1%, its highest since February 2011. The US dollar has erased about 10% versus the yen on speculations the Federal Reserve would slowly raise interest rates, prodding cautions from BOJ policymakers against investors on gliding the currency too swiftly.

China halts new registration of finance institutions - Caixin

China stopped the registration of new finance companies as authorities have begun restraining online finance, according to Caixin. Citing sources privy to the matter, entities with finance-related names can no longer register with the State Administration for Industry & Commerce. Instead, companies will first have to secure approvals from Chinese regulators. Clearing the Internet finance, which commenced on April 14 and will end by January 2016, seeks to eradicate fraudulent acts by some peer-to-peer lenders that endanger financial soundness nationwide. Caixin said the Chinese government will recall licenses for current finance companies that fail inspections during the process.
