Japanese factories slashed output for a third consecutive month in November, dragged down by weak demand for machinery products amid a deteriorating global economic outlook. Factory output fell 0.1% in November from the previous month, government data showed on Wednesday, a smaller decline than the median market forecast for a 0.3% drop. That marked the third monthly decrease in Japanese production and followed a revised 3.2% fall in October and 1.7% contraction in September. Output of general machinery slipped 7.9%, while that of production machinery decreased 5.7%, driving down the overall index in November. Output of auto products was also down 0.8%.
