TREE NEWS reports: Japan’s household consumer confidence index came in at 35.4 for September, slightly above the expected 35.3 but down from the prior reading of 35.5. The reading marks a marginal month-on-month decline in sentiment while beating consensus expectations.

For crypto and RWA markets, Japanese retail flow has been a meaningful marginal buyer, so the question is whether this plateau persists or starts reflecting real income and inflation pressure. The next print matters more than this one.
