TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's core machinery orders fell 1.5% in June from the previous month, government data showed on Wednesday.
The reading compared with a 2.8% decline forecast in a Reuters poll of economists.
Manufacturers surveyed by the Cabinet Office predicted that core orders will rise 11.0% in July-September after advancing 4.6% in the previous quarter.
Compared with a year earlier, core orders, a highly volatile data series regarded as an indicator of capital spending in the coming six to nine months, grew 18.6% in June, versus a 15.8% rise expected by economists, the data showed.
