The manufacturing sector in Japan continued to expand in November, and at a faster pace, the latest survey from Nikkei revealed on Friday with a 44-month high PMI score of 53.6.
That's up from 52.8 in October, and it moves further above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
Individually, there was a broad-based increase in new orders, while input price inflation also moved higher.
