Japanese consumer sentiment almost unchanged in April
Japan's consumer confidence was little changed last month, indicating that the country's economic recovery is stable, reported Cabinet Office. Its sentiment index that tracks opinion on jobs and income eased down to 40.0 last month as compared to 40.3 in the preceding month. However, consumers still are not confident in robust economic growth as reading below 50.0 indicates pessimism.
