Machinery Orders (MoM)
New orders, released by the Cabinet Office, are the total value of machinery orders placed at major manufacturers in Japan. They are legally binding contracts between consumers and producers for delivering goods and services. The report is considered the best leading indicator of business capital spending, and increases are indicative of stronger business confidence and therefore, as larger the number is, the positive it tends to be for the currency, while a negative reading is understood as a drop down in growth.
