Remember when that absolute disaster of a Q3 GDP print hit Japan and the world of talking-heads proclaimed… “yeah, but.. capex revisions and stuff and things will make it all better” or some such nonsense? Well that’s exactly what it was – utter nonsense. Going entirely the opposite direction to expectations of a revision up to -0.5% QoQ, Japanese GDP was revsied even lower to -1.9% QoQ (from -1.6% QoQ initial) confirming the quadrupled-dip-recession.
