09-Sep-2026

Business confidence among big Japanese manufacturers climbed in September to its highest level since December 2021, buoyed by robust semiconductor and data-centre-related demand, a Reuters monthly poll showed on Wednesday. The Reuters Tankan sentiment index for manufacturers rose to plus-21 from plus-18 in August, extending a steady recovery from plus-7 in April. Non-manufacturers' sentiment edged up to plus-29 from plus-28, staying within the range that has prevailed through 2025 and this year.
