Emerging Asian currencies edged lower against the dollar on Monday as investors digested an AI-driven sell-off on Wall Street and awaited regional inflation data. The South Korean won weakened to 1,346.90 per dollar, its lowest since mid-October, while the rupiah slipped to 18,165, near its June record low.
South Korean shares rose 2.2% on dip-buying in tech stocks, and Singapore's index fell 1.4%.
For feed buyers the move is indirect: a weaker won and rupiah raise the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients such as soybean meal and corn, and the coming inflation prints could shift rate expectations and extend currency volatility.
