７月機械受注、０．１％減　２カ月ぶりマイナス―内閣府

　内閣府が１８日発表した７月の機械受注統計（季節調整値）は、企業の設備投資の先行指標となる民間需要（変動の大きい船舶・電力を除く）の受注額が前月比０．１％減の８７４９億円となった。小幅ながらマイナスは２カ月ぶり。基調判断は３カ月連続で、「持ち直しの動きに足踏みが見られる」とした。（2024/09/18-10:57）

Japan's seasonally adjusted core machinery orders in July fell 0.1 pct from the previous month, the Cabinet Office said Wednesday.
   Private-sector orders excluding those for ships and power equipment, closely watched as a leading indicator of corporate capital spending, came to 874.9 billion yen after rising 2.1 pct in June.
   The Cabinet Office said the pickup in machinery orders is at a standstill, adopting the same assessment for the third straight month.
   Machinery orders from manufacturers dropped 5.7 pct to 398.4 billion yen after a 0.3 pct fall in June, when the result was supported by a large-scale order. Generally, machinery orders from manufacturers remained sluggish from April.
   Core orders from nonmanufacturers grew 7.5 pct to 484.4 billion yen, a bigger increase than 2.4 pct in June.
