The Chinese yuan firmed in onshore and offshore trade as Chinese financial markets reopened after a week-long holiday.
The Australian and New Zealand dollars, whose fortunes are often linked with global trade, edged higher as some investors reduced bearish bets. Dealers warned this move could fade depending on the tone of the trade talks in Washington.
Hopes for a breakthrough are not high, but some investors are trying to scale back their positions, at least temporarily, because the outcome of the trade negotiations cannot be predicted.
