Econ Grapher submits:

Japan just released its trade data for October, with the monthly stats showing a tapering off in annual growth, and negative growth vs September, with exports down -2% from September (up 8% vs 2009) and imports down -3% from September (up 9% vs 2009). The growth in trade disappointed against expectations and is starting to make the trend look a little less than promising for the troubled Japanese economy.
