“The recovery in employment and incomes should continue bolstering consumption ahead. And the recent machinery orders data suggests capital spending will maintain an uptrend into the fourth quarter onwards.”
Ryutaro Kono
“Investors were keenly awaiting machinery orders, due out in the afternoon. However, the downside on the main indices was limited as investor hopes for a further rise remained pretty strong. An outcome (on the data) above the market consensus could set the stage for a further boost.”
Mitsushige Akino
“The headline figures are quite strong. Machinery orders are a leading indicator of capital spending, and this outcome shows corporate spending will be strong at least in the first half of 2006.”
Yoshiki Shinke
“Bonds are reacting to the drop in stocks. The machinery orders report is another plus.”
Norihisa Takao
“Share prices were weaker as many investors are keenly awaiting the machinery orders (figures).”
Hideo Mizutani
“My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery -always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for?”
Virginia Woolf
“Make the people sovereign and the poor will use the machinery of government to dispossess the rich.”
