Japan Tankan Business-Conditions Intelligence (BoJ, keyless)
Quarterly Japan Tankan business-conditions panel, 1967Q3 onward: the Bank of Japan's Short-term Economic Survey diffusion index ("favorable" minus "unfavorable", percentage points) for large, medium-sized and small enterprises, manufacturing and nonmanufacturing, actual result plus the forecast made for that quarter. Carries per-group forecast errors (the famous Tankan conservatism bias), quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year DI changes, the large-minus-small manufacturing gap and the manufacturing-minus-nonmanufacturing gap, and a four-state business-cycle regime on the headline large-manufacturing DI. One row per survey quarter; the grid ends on a forecast-only lead quarter (the forecast for the not-yet-published quarter), and nonmanufacturing columns are structurally null before 1983Q2 (upstream coverage expansion). Who joins this: macro desks read large_mfg_regime and the forecast error as the Japan cycle call; FX/rate models join (quarter) to JPY and JGB series for the BoJ policy read; equity teams use the size and sector gaps for rotation signals.
Japan Macro Signals (derived)
Monthly Japan macro signals from OECD Main Economic Indicators (via FRED): headline CPI (JPNCPIALLMINMEI, 1955 ->) and the 10-year JGB yield (IRLTLT01JPM156N, 1989 ->), with 3-month momentum, year-on-year change, 30-month change volatility, 3-sigma anomaly flags, naive-drift forecasts, plus deflation / high-inflation flags, a 10-year-yield 5-year z-score and a negative-yield flag covering the NIRP and yield-curve-control years. The Japan lens on global macro — the deflation laboratory and Asia-Pacific rates anchor. Companion to us-treasury-yield-curve-signals (US) and imf-global-real-gdp-growth-signals (annual, global). All rows normalized to country_code JPN. Raw series: OECD Main Economic Indicators via FRED.
