Asian currencies mostly weaken against the dollar in the morning session ahead of the three-day Jackson Hole symposium that starts Thursday.
Traders are seemingly squaring their books ahead of Fed Chair Powell's speech at the symposium on Friday, StoneX's Matt Simpson says in a commentary. This could prove to be a volatile event, given Jackson Hole has been used as a platform for the Fed to outline longer-term policy adjustments, the senior market analyst says.
USD/KRW rises 0.3% to 1,397.00, USD/THB adds 0.2% to 32.61, and AUD/USD edges 0.1% lower to 0.6444, LSEG data show.
