China’s official manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index for November came in at 50.1 on Tuesday. That was above expectations by analysts in a Reuters poll for a reading of 49.6.

Investors in the region also continued to track any developments surrounding the omicron variant, which the World Health Organization said is likely to spread further and poses a “very high” global risk.

Overnight stateside, the major indexes on Wall Street rose after U.S. President Joe Biden said there’s no need for Covid omicron lockdowns for now. The S&P 500 gained 1.32% to 4,655.27 while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite surged 1.88% to 15,782.83. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 236.60 points to 35,135.94.

The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of its peers, was at 96.196 after rising to around 96.4 recently.

The Japanese yen traded at 113.75 per dollar, weaker than levels below 113.4 seen against the greenback yesterday. The Australian dollar was at $0.7145, still struggling to recover after last week’s drop from above $0.725.
