Japan exports drop 46% in January

There's more info here.

Personally I feel that its a sign of the global economic downturn is worsening. 46% is MASSIVE. But then again in my opinion, Japanese goods are the goods one would avoid first in bad times. But its a sign of general deterioration, especially considering the contraction of orders is approximately the same in Europe, the US, China and Asia in general.

Horrible news.
