🚨 🇯🇵 Japan factory PMI misses at 53.3, services firm keep composite steady

• 🇯🇵 The flash manufacturing PMI slipped to 53.3 in October from 54.1, well short of the 54.5 expected, per newswires
• 🇯🇵 Services picked up to 52.0 from 51.3, leaving the composite unchanged at 52.3

FO view: A mixed survey that neither adds to nor undercuts this morning's firmer underlying CPI; the BoJ tightening case and yen support stay intact.
