Philippine stocks down over a per cent as S. Korean won and Indonesian rupiah leads losses among Asian forex

MANILA, June 19 (Reuters): The South Korean won and Indonesian rupiah led losses among Asian currencies against a stong greenback, with most equities trading lower as investor sentiment dampened ahead of a week of central bank meetings and more economic stimulus from China.

The won and rupiah emerged as top laggards alongside other major currencies in the region, down 0.8% and 0.4%, respectively. Equities in Jakarta were 0.2% lower.
