About this episode

This episode discusses market reactions to potential rate hikes affecting the yen, rupee, and won amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.

There’s more conflicting news from the Middle East, with ongoing fighting in Lebanon, but hope for a deal drags oil prices down. The yen is perched on its precipice of 160 to the US dollar. And the Reserve Bank of India may hike today to support the rupee. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ’s Head of Asia Research Khoon Goh looks what what is behind the Korean won falling to its lowest level since 2009.
