Actual responses to Capex data via Twitter ... from economists analysts etc.

  • Earth shattering

  • Crapex

  • Very sobering

I'd add my own, but the other guys don't like it when I use foul language

More:

  • no good news in the capex survey
  • it's horrible
  • Australian capital expenditure plummeted in the first three months of this year, casting a pall over the economy's transition
  • further evidence that the transition toward investment in the non-mining sectors remains quite some time away
  • further decline, from an already weak outlook, suggests that businesses are severely lacking in the confidence required to lift investment
  • Business investment tanked in the first quarter
  • investment strike
  • slump in business spending
  • real concern in capex data was 2015-16 exp inv of $104bn v mkt exp for $115bn. This is -25% from same est yr ago. Stil bleak inv outlook
