Asia Currencies Consolidate as Traders Assess Mideast Developments -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-20 08:39

0039 GMT - Asian currencies consolidate against the dollar in early trade. Developments about the Middle East conflict "remain front and centre with no grounds for optimism regarding an early cessation of attacks on oil and gas infrastructure or a re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz," NAB's Ray Attrill says in commentary. Also, "central banks, most notably the Bank of England, are striking a more hawkish [tone] with regards to dealing with the inflation consequences of energy prices," the head of FX Strategy says. The dollar edges 0.1% higher to 157.90 yen and is little changed at 1,489.07 won, FactSet data show. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
