Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit fall most among tepid Asia FX


The Indonesian rupiah and Malaysian ringgit fell to multi-week lows among subdued Asian currencies on Monday, as strong U.S. economic data tempered Federal Reserve rate cut wagers, and bets of Donald Trump winning the presidency buoyed the greenback.

The rupiah fell 0.6% to hit its lowest level since mid-August, and was headed for its biggest monthly fall since March 2020.
