01:45 China Markit/Caixin Manufacturing PMI (Preliminary) September 47.3 47.5 47.0
The yen advanced against the U.S. dollar amid growing demand for this safe-haven currency due to declines in Asian stocks and weak data from China. Concerns over economic growth of the biggest consumer of commodities weigh on global markets. A preliminary report from Markit Economics and Caixin Media showed on Wednesday that China's manufacturing sector had fallen to a six-and-a-half-year low of 47.0 in September. Economists had expected a 47.5 reading after 47.3 reported previously. A reading below 50 suggests contraction. The Australian and New Zealand dollars fell amid this report as China is a key trading partner of these countries.
Meanwhile the dollar continued to weigh on the euro and the pound amid hawkish statements by several Fed officials. Earlier this week three policy makers said they expected a rate hike by the end of the current year.
EUR/USD: the pair fluctuated within $1.1105-35 in Asian trade
USD/JPY: the pair fell to Y119.65
GBP/USD: the pair fell to $1.5335
