DATA SNAP: Japan April-June GDP Worse Than Expected

TOKYO (Dow Jones)--Japan's economy lost steam in the April-June period, growing at its slowest pace in three quarters as exports and consumption decelerated, the government said Monday. The country's gross domestic product, or the total output of goods and services, grew a price-adjusted 0.1% from the previous quarter, or an annualized 0.5%, in the three months through June, according to preliminary data released by the Cabinet Office. A lack of international trade gains and slower consumption put a damper on growth, which was far weaker than the first quarter's annualized 3.2% rise and the October-December period's 5.4% jump, the data showed. The headline figure was worse than the average 0.2% on-quarter rise, or an annualized 0.9% gain, forecast by economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires.
