Japan Aug. Core Machinery Orders Up 4.7 Pct

Tokyo, Oct. 9 (Jiji Press)--Japan's seasonally adjusted core machinery orders in August rose 4.7 pct from the previous month, the Cabinet Office said Thursday. Private-sector orders excluding those for ships and power equipment, closely watched as a leading indicator of corporate capital spending, came to 807.8 billion yen. The August result, which followed a 3.5 pct increase in July, compared with the median estimate of a 0.9 pct rise by 23 economic research institutes surveyed by Jiji Press. END
