Japan METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) official:

• Industrial production shows shipments falling for 5 straight months, which is similar to last time Japan entered recession

Headlines via Reuters

In reference to the data released earlier:  Japan Industrial Production for June (preliminary): -3.3% m/m (vs. -1.2% expected)

-

I would have though this might be a bearish input for the yen. USD/JPY not seeming to agree with me though.
