Taiwan dollar flat ahead of exports data
Reuters - Monday, March 9
* Taiwan dollar unchanged ahead of trade data
ADVERTISEMENT
* Falling stocks pressure the Taiwan dollar
TAIPEI, March 9 - The Taiwan dollar pulled back from a two-week high to trade flat on Monday as weak corporate results weighed on the stock market, while investors were waiting for export data due later in the day.
The Taiwan dollar <TWD=TP> remained largely flat at T$34.779 to the U.S. dollar by 0236 GMT, barely changed from Friday's close of T$34.780.
Earlier in the day, the Taiwan dollar hit an intraday high of T$34.627 high, the strongest level since Feb. 23.
Volume on the main Taipei Forex Inc exchange was thin at $130 million after an hour and 30 minutes of trade, lower than Friday's $180 million.
"There is no clear flow in the Taiwan dollar today with some people waiting to see how badly exports fell last month," said a dealer in Taipei. "The weak stock market isn't helping things either."
A Reuters poll showed that exports in February are likely to fall 25 percent from the year before, further pushing the island's economy deeper into recession. [ID:nSP412064]
Dealers said they expect the Taiwan dollar to remain largely flat for the rest of the session, as investors stay on the sidelines in anticipation of a clearer direction.
"This morning's jump was probably left over enthusiasm from last week," said another dealer. "Things should remain flat for most of the session and I don't see how things can change dramatically today."
Some dealers said the Taiwan dollar was also taking a breather after it firmed sharply late last week after China's comments on its economy and warming ties with the island boosted market sentiment.
On the smaller Cosmos exchange <COSMOS1>, the Taiwan dollar was trading for T$34.780, compared to Friday's close of T$34.749.
