Japanese exports jump 10.1%.

The weak yen helped Japanese exports grow at the fastest rate since 2010 in May, with sales abroad jumping 10.1% on year vs +3.8% in April and consensus of +6.5%. However, volume dropped 4.8%, hurt by the economic situation in China and the EU. With imports climbing 10%, Japan generated a trade deficit for the 11th consecutive month as the figure widened 13% on month to ¥993.9B ($10.4B).
