Because of the retail sales figures released a few days ago, the Canadian dollar (CAD) was stronger against the Japanese yen (JPY) today. Retail sales increased by -1.8 percent, which was higher than the -2.1 percent forecasted by economists.

Every month, Statistics Canada reported retail sales figures. Based on a sample of stores of various sorts and sizes, these figures illustrate how many products were sold by retailers. One of the techniques used to determine how well things are doing is retail sales. As a result, lower numbers indicate a poor economy and a depreciated dollar.

The figures on Japanese industrial production will be released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry on Monday. Economists forecast a reading of 1.1 percent in January, compared to a reading of 2.1 percent the month before.

Industrial production is a metric that quantifies the output of Japanese companies and mines. Industrial production changes are a key indicator of the manufacturing sector’s health. A high reading indicates bullish sentiment for the JPY, while a low reading indicates the bearish sentiment.
