> Asian currencies moved unevenly as a sharp technology-stock selloff increased risk aversion: the yen gained safe-haven demand, while the Taiwan dollar weakened to a level above 33 per dollar before recovering. The US dollar was broadly steady ahead of the US jobs report; the Korean won also weakened, while the yuan was little changed.
