Japan Industrial Output Rises 4.0% In April

Industrial output in Japan advanced 4.0 percent on month in April, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said in Wednesday's preliminary reading.

That was shy of expectations for an increase of 4.2 percent following the 1.9 percent decline in March.

On a yearly basis, industrial production climbed 5.7 percent - again missing forecasts for a gain of 6.1 percent following the 3.5 percent increase in the previous month.
