Asian stocks, FX fall on Mideast woes; Philippine, Taiwan rate decisions in focus

Emerging Asian stock markets and currencies fell on Thursday, as cautious investors stayed away from riskier assets, weighing the possibility of the U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. Iran and Israel traded further air attacks as U.S. President Donald Trump kept markets guessing on whether Washington would join Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The Israeli shekel weakened 0.2%. The Malaysian ringgit weakened 0.4% to a near one-month low, and the South Korean won fell as much as 1%. The Vietnamese dong touched a record low against the dollar. "Should the U.S. become involved in the Israel-Iran conflict, some sentiment deterioration would be warranted," analysts at DBS said. Local investors also focused on the monetary policy decisions by the Philippine and Taiwan central banks due later in the day. Taiwan's central bank is likely to maintain its policy rate, while Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is expected to cut its key interest rate by 25 basis points, as slowing inflation allows it room to support the domestic economy amid weaker growth. The Taiwan dollar weakened 0.1% and the Philippine peso fell 0.4% to a more than two-month low. It is unlikely to be an easy decision for the BSP, considering peso's recent underperformance alongside rising oil prices, DBS said. BSP would likely prioritise domestic factors such as inflation and incoming activity-based indicators, which may lay the ground for further rate cuts, it added. In Thailand, political uncertainty weighed on sentiment as Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's government was hanging by a thread, with coalition partners reconsidering their support after a major player's exit threatened to bring down the administration. The Thai baht fell 0.6% to a near three-week low and equities dropped as much as 2.4% to their lowest since April 9. Other stock markets also tumbled, with the MSCI index of Asian emerging market equities falling 1.3%. Equities in Taiwan slipped 1.4% and those in Malaysia fell 0.6%. Indonesia stocks dropped 1.6% to a one-month low, a day after the country's central bank paused its easing cycle. Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo said the central bank remains open to further lowering borrowing costs, as inflation is expected to remain within target this year and next year. The decision came just hours before the U.S. Federal Reserve held rates steady, as expected, and retained projections for two quarter-point rate cuts this year.

Risk aversion grips Asian stocks, currencies; Philippines cuts rates as expected

SINGAPORE/HONG KONG: Asian stock markets and currencies fell on Thursday on broader risk-off sentiment as cautious investors weighed the possibility of US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. Meanwhile, the Philippine central bank cut its policy rate by 25 basis points as expected. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli Remolona stated that while an accommodative policy was needed, there were risks associated with geopolitical tensions and external policy uncertainty that had to be monitored. The peso was largely unchanged after the decision, still trading down 0.6 per cent near a two-month low. Iran and Israel traded further air attacks as US President Donald Trump kept markets guessing on whether Washington would join Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The Israeli shekel weakened 0.3 per cent. The Indonesian rupiah fell 0.6 per cent to a near three-month low and the Indian rupee dipped 0.3 per cent. The South Korean won fell as much as 1 per cent and the Vietnamese dong touched a record low. "Geopolitical developments remain fluid, and caution is warranted as we head into the weekend," said Christopher Wong, currency strategist at OCBC. With oil prices at risk of going higher as a result, net-oil importing currencies such as the peso, the rupee, the won and the Thai baht may be affected more than other peers, he added. The Taiwan dollar weakened 0.3 per cent ahead of its central bank's rate decision, in which it is likely to maintain its policy rate. The Thai baht fell as much as 0.9 per cent to a one-month low as political uncertainty weighed on already fragile sentiment. Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's government hangs by a thread, with coalition partners reconsidering their support after a major player's exit threatened to bring down the administration. In the near term, political uncertainty may weaken the baht further, as foreign investors lose confidence and sell Thai assets especially if the US dollar strengthens and gold prices continue to fall, said Poon Panichpibool, markets strategist at Krung Thai Bank. Bangkok equities dropped as much as 2.4 per cent to their lowest since April 9. Other stock markets also tumbled, with equities in Taiwan slipping 1.6 per cent and those in Singapore down 0.6 per cent. Indonesia stocks dropped 2.4 per cent to their lowest since May 14, a day after the country's central bank paused its easing cycle just hours before the US Federal Reserve held rates steady as expected.
