Japan's core machinery orders slipped 0.9% in August to '8890 billion, marking a slower decline than July's 4.6% slump. The fall was largely driven by a 6.4% drop in non-manufacturing demand to '469 billion, while manufacturing orders dipped 2.4% to '418 billion. On a yearly basis, orders rose 1.6%, easing from July's 4.9% increase. The data underscores sluggish business investment momentum, signaling that corporate spending may remain muted in the coming quarters despite mild improvement from the previous month.
