Core machinery orders in Japan, which exclude those of ships and electrical equipment, declined by 3.1 percent month-over-month in April of 2017, following a 1.4 percent increase in March while markets expected a 1.3 percent decline. It was the first drop in core orders since January, mainly due to a faster fall in non-manufacturing orders (-5 percent from -3.9 percent in the prior month), due to real estate (-51.3 percent) and finance & insurance (-38.5 percent). In contrast, manufacturing orders went up at a faster 2.5 percent (0.6 percent in March), driven by textile mill products (93.5 percent).
