Japan corporate capex up in third-quarter but GDP seen little changed

dimanche 1 décembre 2013

Japan's PM Abe smiles during the Lower House plenary session of the parliament in Tokyo The 1.5 percent year-on-year rise in capital spending followed a flat reading in the prior quarter and marked the first gain in four quarters, Ministry of Finance data showed on Monday, but the result disappointed some economists who were expecting stronger gains. The reading suggests that Japan's gross domestic product growth for July-September is likely to be little changed, after preliminary data showed a 0.5 percent expansion from the previous quarter, or an annualized rate of 1.9 percent. "There is not likely to be much change to GDP data," said Shuji Tonouchi, a senior fixed income strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. "There are some worrying signs, as capital expenditure in the services sector is losing some momentum."
