```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on June 30th that the Japanese government released its monthly economic report on Tuesday, maintaining its assessment of a "moderate recovery" and indicating that the economy still has room for expansion. The index for May, to be announced on July 7th, is expected to show that the economy has been in a growth trend for 72 consecutive months (six years). If the readings for June and July also point to continued growth, the current expansion phase will surpass the previous record of 73 months. Driven by robust growth in consumer spending and trade, Japan’s economy has performed well at the start of this year, with demand for artificial intelligence-related products providing key support for exports. However, household consumption trends remain uncertain due to inflation eroding purchasing power.
