Asia: The easy bit is over
Asian FX faces a more challenging year than the previous one unless the stars come into perfect alignment. We think that is unlikely
Executive summary
- Asian exporters have performed well this year, but may face some headwinds in 2018 if oil prices turn lower and Middle East demand for Asian exports soften
- Outperformers in the FX space should be KRW – buoyed by Korea’s market leader position in the semi-conductor sector. MYR should continue its recovery
- The INR and, in particular the PHP, should prove the underperformers as their external positions deteriorate through 2018
