The manufacturing sector in Japan continued to expand in August, and at a faster rate, the latest survey from Nikkei revealed on Thursday with a manufacturing PMI score of 52.5.

Individually, input and output price inflation climbed to multi-year highs, while overall demand improved - although export orders failed to rise for a third straight month.
