This is an important indicator of investment and is a major indicator of manufacturing production. It allows understanding the trend in capital investments, as data are registered at the stage where the machine for the capital investment is ordered from the machine manufacturer.
Core Machinery Orders are considered an indicator six to nine months ahead of actual capital investment. This index shows the increase in domestic demand for durable goods and the means of production.
Higher than expected values are seen as positive/bullish for JPY. Values lower than expected are treated as negative/bearish for JPY. However, since there is a considerable shift in the monthly movement, it is necessary to maintain a quarterly basis when analyzing.
