Asian currencies mixed against dollar AFP, HONG KONG Sept 7: Asian currencies saw a mixed performance against the dollar, with the yen and Thai baht making gains on the greenback but others remaining flat or slipping marginally. JAPANESE YEN: The yen climbed against the dollar, reflecting gains in Japanese share prices and rising hopes for a Japanese economic recovery. The gains prompted Japanese authorities-wanting to protect the export sector from the damaging effects of a rapid rise in the currency-to intervene to sell the yen, capping gains for the currency. The yen is expected to gain further ground in the coming week, dealers said. On Thursday, the central bank reportedly intervened in the market for the first time in about a month after the yen rose to 115.75 to the dollar in early trading. AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR: The Australian dollar is expected to remain weak against the greenback next week but dealers expect a rally in the coming months as the global outlook improves, dealers said. The Aussie ended a flat week at 64.43 US cents, marginally down on the previous week's 64.45 US cents. NEW ZEALAND DOLLAR: The dollar closed local trading Friday at 57.04 US cents, down slightly from 57.15 cents a week earlier. SINGAPORE DOLLAR: The US dollar rose slightly to 1.7593 Singapore dollars from 1.7558 the previous week. INDONESIAN RUPIAH: The rupiah closed the week marginally lower at 8,490/8,500 to the dollar compared with the previous week's close of 8,485-8,495. PHILIPPINE PESO: The peso ended the week at 55.02 to the dollar, unchanged from a week earlier. SOUTH KOREAN WON: The dollar declined slightly to 1,170.60 won from 1,178.20 a week earlier as foreigners continued buying South Korean stocks and exporters swapped dollar earnings for the local currency to pay their employees ahead of the Chusok national holidays in the coming week. TAIWAN DOLLAR: The US fell slightly against the Taiwan unit over the week to close at 34.117 Friday from 34.170 a week earlier due to inflows of foreign funds into the local stock market. THAI BAHT: The baht advanced against the dollar over the past week boosted by ongoing capital inflows into the local stock market and increasing confidence in the country's economic performance. The local stock market surged 3.74 per cent over the past week bolstered by overseas investors scooping up blue chips. Dhaka Stock Exchange Link International Stock Exchange Link |
