[１０日 ロイター] - アジア新興国通貨は、米消費者物価指数（ＣＰＩ）の発表を１１日に控え、ほぼ横ばいとなった。一方、韓国ウォンは一時０．５％上昇した。ＯＣＢＣの為替ストラテジスト、クリストファー・ウォン氏は韓国の政治的混乱に関して「当局は市場を落ち着かせようと格付け機関や投資家とのコミュニケーションを迅速に行っている」と指摘。「これまでの外国為替市場の動きは過剰反応だったかもしれない。韓国の政治的不確実性は一時的にウォンへの重しとなる可能性はあるが、状況がより明確になれば影響は薄れるはずだ」と語った。台湾ドルは小幅上昇した。台湾軍は９日、中国が７つの航空予備区域を設置し、海軍艦隊と沿岸警備隊の船舶を台湾周辺海域に派遣したことを受け、緊急対応センターを設置し、警戒態勢を強めたと明らかにした。 もっと見る 私たちの行動規範：トムソン・ロイター「信頼の原則」, opens new tab
