The Adjusted Merchandise Trade Balance is released by the Ministry of Finance and it's a seasonal measure of balance amount between import and export. A positive value shows a trade surplus while a negative value shows a trade deficit. Japan is so much dependent on exports. A high reading is positive for the JPY, while a low reading is seen as negative (or bearish).
