Japan September Services PMI Final Revised Down to 51.3

The downward revision matters less than the level: both services and composite activity remain in expansion, so the soft patch is a matter of degree, not direction. For crypto and RWA desks, the read-through is indirect — a still-growing services sector keeps the Bank of Japan's normalization debate alive, which is the channel that actually moves yen-sensitive positioning. Whether the final prints keep drifting below flash estimates in coming months is the open question.
