Singapore based Denko Group reported the largest increase in US construction spending in over nine years as well as three straight quarters of manufacturing sector expansion.

Statements from the US Commerce Department confirmed that recent industry spending was driven by short term tax incentives. Residential construction alone was lifted nearly 5% by a temporary tax credit for home buyers. The nearly 3% industry wide increase was welcome news to markets which have been recently battered by the Europe financial crisis.

Spending in communications and power infrastructure, along with other non-residential sectors also showed its first increase in more than a year. Although tempered by a reduction of office buildings and shopping centers, the non-residential sector still rose nearly 2%.
