TOKYO, June 15( Reuters)- Japan’s exports grew suddenly in May on robust auto deals, though the rate of expansion braked to a bottleneck as affectation and rising interest rates smelled into global demand, pressing a patchy recovery in the world’s third- largest frugality.

Ministry of Finance data showed on Thursday that Japan’s exports rose0.6 time- on- time in May, for the 27th straight month of rises, led by 66 growth in auto shipments.
The overall Japan’s exports growth was the slowest since February 2021, but the outgrowth beat a0.8 time- on- time drop anticipated by 16 economists in a Reuters bean, and followed a2.6 rise in April.
