In June 2026, Japan's trade deficit recorded 406.9 billion yen, significantly exceeding market expectations. Imports surged 25.4% year-over-year, overwhelming export growth and extending the deficit streak to two consecutive months. The expansion of this deficit is primarily analyzed to be driven by rising import costs resulting from the weak yen. Investors should pay attention to the deterioration of Japan's macroeconomic health and exchange rate risks.
