China Manufacturing PMI 50.9 In October - HSBC
An index measuring manufacturing activity in China came in with a score of 50.9 in October, the latest survey from HSBC and Markit Economics revealed on Thursday.
That topped forecasts for a score of 50.4 and was up from the 50.2 reading in September.

Taiwan Will Allow Chinese Companies to Issue Yuan Bonds by the End of This Year
China Development Bank (CDB) expected to issue the first such bonds, a local newspaper reported on Thursday, citing Taiwan's top financial regulator William Tseng.
CDB has received a quota to sell between 4 billion and 6 billion yuan in bonds, and the total amount for such bonds in Taiwan this year will exceed 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion), the Commercial Times added, citing unidentified sources.
The move is the latest sign that Taiwan is aiming to become an offshore yuan center to tap the Chinese currency's globalization.
