since september 26th seen. the survey covers a period just before the weekend's cordial meeting between presidents trump and she the resulting announcement that u.s. china trade talks will restart should give manufacturers a boost however they'll still have to contend with slowing global demand. a positive from this quarter's time can result is that service sector sentiment is improving companies are planning to continue their spending plans suggesting solid domestic demand may at least be taking some of the weight off the impacts of weaker exports. it's like a scene out of moby dick whaling ship setting sail on japan's 1st commercial hunt in years conservationists call it cruel and outdated some japanese can't wait to sink their teeth into it. it was all hands on deck before setting sail on a hunt that's been 3 decades coming these are the men that will bring fresh local
