ASIA FX

Onshore South Korean markets are closed today, but the 1 month USD/KRW NDF has nudged up to 1304 (+0.22% on closing levels from last week). USD/THB (+0.45% to 35.35) and USD/PHP (+0.40% to 55.84) are also higher - with firmer front end yields/higher DXY from late last week added to the mix. SGD is outperforming to a degree, with USD/CNH close to unchanged at 1.3710/15.
