Investing.com– Most Asian currencies sank on Monday, while the dollar rose to a five-week high as a stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation reading drove up fears that the Federal Reserve could keep raising interest rates.<\/p>\n

The prospect of rising U.S. interest rates boosted the dollar and Treasury yields, and kept investors shy of high-risk Asian markets. With U.S. interest rates set to remain at over 20-year highs until at least early-2024, Asian currencies are unlikely to see any relief in the near-term.<\/p>\n

Focus is now on and data, due on Tuesday, for more economic cues.<\/p>\n

But in addition to the weak readings, media reports suggested that Country Garden <\/span><\/span> (HK:), one of the country\u2019s biggest property developers, was facing a potential debt default- a scenario that bodes poorly for the real estate market, which was once China\u2019s biggest economic engine.<\/p>\n

Concerns over China saw the sink 0.5% and come within sight of a nine-month low. The also sank 0.2%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indian rupee flat ahead of inflation cues\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The moved little on Monday as investors awaited key and data for July, due later in the day.<\/p>\n

The data comes just a few days after the Reserve Bank of India warned that inflation grew substantially in the past month, due to elevated food prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Any increases in inflation are likely to draw more hawkish measures from the RBI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
