- Asia FX markets remain range-bound as traders balance expectations of December central bank rate cuts against pending U.S. economic data and divergent regional fundamentals. - Brazilian firm BR Advisory Partners (BRBI11) demonstrates resilience in high-rate environments through 13.9% dividend yield, despite 4.3% Q3 revenue decline and improved 45.8% efficiency ratio. - India's October merchandise exports fell 11.8% YoY, driven by -10.4% petroleum product and -10.2% core sector declines, raising concerns

Asian foreign exchange markets are largely steady as investors assess the likelihood of central banks lowering rates in December, set against cautious trading stances and a surge of upcoming economic indicators. The U.S. dollar, which has traded within a narrow range lately, is expected to respond to major data releases such as U.S. nonfarm payrolls and inflation statistics, while Asian currencies contend with varying economic backdrops

Elsewhere, India’s merchandise exports

fell 11.8% year-over-year

in October 2025, intensifying worries about foreign demand in light of increased U.S. tariffs. The contraction, most notable in petroleum products (-10.4%) and core sectors (-10.2%), highlights the fragility of Asia’s export-reliant economies

based on Crisil’s assessment

. Crisil analysts pointed out that while lower crude prices and strong services exports have helped limit the current account deficit, ongoing export weakness could put pressure on the rupee and regional currency stability.

The short-term path for the dollar will be shaped by economic data that could either support or undermine expectations for significant rate reductions. BR Partners’ earnings discussion

emphasized the wider issue

facing emerging markets: sustaining profitability in a high-rate climate while coping with capital outflows.
