      This is because China is a massive economy, and it bears an extremely important role in the Japanese economy, especially after having taken over the second largest economy world wide. 
    • Erica Nozawa

      Japan's economy stagnated severely after the earthquake and tsunami. This was due to the rapidly dropping demand from consumers, who deferred purchasing inessential goods. 
  • , demand from China would be the determining factor for continued growth
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 31 May 12
       
      This quotation indicates the global impact of the Chinese economy. Because a large proportion of Japanese goods' is exported to China, a decrease in demand means that there would be less output. This can be related to the US GDP article, stating that a decrease in demand would make it difficult to produce the good to be either exported or imported and have affect on GDP growth.

  • Erica Nozawa on 31 May 12
     
    Japan's factory output was weaker than expected in April because of slower demand for electronics goods, especially in China. Output was 0.2% higher in April from March, the Trade and Industry Ministry said. Analysts had forecast a figure of 0.5%. The ministry said it expects output to fall in May, before rebounding in June.

    • Shoko Kuroda

      The significance of unemployment rate is clearly indicated, such as the the impact on Obama's re-election. 
  • The unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent in May from 8.1 in April, though largely because more people began looking for work.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      Unemployment raises when there is more demand for working because no matter whether there is an increase or decrease in the working labour force, the number of available jobs are limited. Because there is a limited number in the number of jobs, the increase in demand for employment raises the unemployment rate. 
  • another recession.
    • Shoko Kuroda

      The word 'recession' can used to introduce the Keynesian economics with the boom and the busts cycles and monetary and fiscal policies to reduce these cycles. 
  • The report on American jobs added to the global pall that has deepened with Europe’s debt crisis and slowing growth in China and India.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      This indicates the influence of America's unemployment rate as well as their economic growth to the other major countries, such as China and India. A increase in America's unemployment rate resulting in a decrease in America's GDP growth has affect on the economy of China and India, such as in exporting goods. 
  • Yields on United States and German government bonds also slumped as investors bid up the bonds’ prices looking for safety.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      The decrease in the prices of government bonds in Germany and United States indicates that the citizens dont have the trust to these countries for their skill to return the money with a fixed amount of tax. This is also another indication for the economy not doing well. 
  • The underlying pace of the domestic economy is a slog, driven by manufacturing and restrained by slackening global demand.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 04 Jun 12
       
      The main factor of decrease in America's GDP is stated as the overall decrease in the demand for goods since many economies are not successful.

      The economic policies which President Obama used can be described thoroughly in this section, such as fiscal and monetary and their success. 
  • The May jobs report showed gains in health care, transportation and warehousing, and wholesale trade, while construction jobs fell by a seasonally adjusted 28,000. Even some bright spots, like booming auto sales, failed to meet expectations or to bolster manufacturing employment by much — only 12,000 jobs.

      Both the positives and the negatives of America's economy can be explained more in depth and the impact of each factor to the market.

    China's inflation dipped to a 30-month low in July, giving policymakers a bigger cushion to boost stimulus measures to spur economic growth. Consumer prices rose by 1.8% in July, from a year earlier. That was down from a 2.2% growth rate in June and a 3% rise in May.
