what happened
According to Reuters, at 0207 GMT the Indonesian rupiah slipped 0.11 percent against the dollar to 18,130. The Philippine peso fell 0.12 percent to 63.946 per dollar. The Japanese yen weakened 0.08 percent to 157.62, while the Singapore dollar lost 0.02 percent.
The South Korean won moved against the broader trend, rising 0.18 percent to 1,323.2 per dollar. The Taiwan dollar dipped 0.04 percent, the Malaysian ringgit gained 0.02 percent, and the Chinese yuan was nearly unchanged at 6.669.
Year to date the picture is different: the won has appreciated 8.87 percent against the dollar and the yuan 4.78 percent, while the rupiah and peso have each lost 8.05 percent.
why it matters
The weaker rupiah and peso alongside a firmer won show how differently Asian currencies are responding to external demand and investor sentiment. For traders in regional FX, such divergences set reference points for pair trades and for assessing risk in countries with heavy dollar exposure.
