Key Quotes
“Core private-sector machinery orders (excluding orders for ships and from electric power companies) moved back into positive territory in September for the first time in four months, at +7.5% mom, following sharp declines over the summer.”
“The October-December order outlook, released together with the September data, calls for 2.9% qoq growth, but this represents the level that would be reached if core machinery orders continue to post zero month-on-month growth in October-December, so it is essentially a forecast for flat growth.”
“Domestic machine tool orders, a leading indicator, had been declining sharply, but the decline is now coming to halt, with readings of -2.6% yoy in September and -0.9% in October. We expect October core machinery orders to show a 1.0% mom rise.”
