News Snapshot:
The manufacturing sector in Taiwan continued to expand in November, and at a faster pace, the latest survey from Markit Economics revealed on Tuesday with a manufacturing PMI score of 56.9. That's up from 55.1 in October and it moves further above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction. Individually, production rose sharply amid the steepest increase in sales in nearly a decade. Supply shortages placed further upward pressure on purchasing costs, while business confidence improved to its highest since January.
