TOKYO, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Japan's core machinery orders rose 1.4 percent in September from the previous month, up for the first time in three months, government data showed on Thursday.
Private-sector orders, excluding those for ships and power equipment, closely watched as a leading indicator of corporate capital spending, came to 852.9 billion yen (5.63 billion U.S. dollars), according to data released by the cabinet office.
Of the core private-sector orders, those from manufacturers fell 1.8 percent to 408.2 billion yen, while orders from non-manufacturers climbed 5.7 percent to 444.8 billion yen, the data showed.
While orders for electronic computers and other machines rose from telecommunications companies and firms in the finance and insurance sector, machinery orders decreased from wholesalers and retailers, the office said.
The cabinet office maintained its basic assessment that machinery orders appear to be at a standstill for the 11th consecutive month. (1 U.S. dollar equals to 151.28 yen)
