Japanese business sentiment worsened for the first time in two
years in the three months to March, a closely watched central
bank survey showed, as rising raw material and labor costs

escalate. However, few analysts expect the economic recovery
to falter as business confidence remains at a decade-high level
and companies plan to increase capital expenditure. (Reuters)
