According to the latest data, Japan's seasonally adjusted private-sector machinery orders for Q3 2026 reached 1281.27 billion yen, a slight rebound of 1.48% from 1262.62 billion yen in the previous period. Although the overall growth of private orders is moderate, external data indicates that core orders, excluding ships and electric power, surged by 9.7% month-on-month, strongly surpassing market consensus. Driven by demand in AI, semiconductors, and automation, Japanese corporate willingness for capital expenditure remains robust, which is expected to continue supporting economic recovery in the future.
