Taiwanese firms have urged the government to allow them to invest in mainland China or use more advanced technologies. It’s part of a bid cut costs and compete with global rivals like those in South Korea.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd and UMC, the world’s two largest contract chipmakers, rallied on the news, boosting Taiwan’s index.

Meanwhile the yen went down from Monday’s eight month high after Japan’s finance minister refused to rule out currency intervention, helping Japanese exporters like Honda.

The Australian dollar rose after reports its central bank will raise rates in November and December. It will be one of the first major economies to raise rates since the global financial crisis.
