Asian currencies were broadly steady against the dollar in early trade at 0033 GMT as markets focused on a meeting later this week between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. MUFG Bank analysts said economic and trade issues are likely to dominate the discussions, with technology and artificial-intelligence-related restrictions remaining key points of contention. They said a constructive post-meeting statement would support Chinese assets and regional supply-chain beneficiaries. The dollar was little changed at 156.87 yen and 6.6943 offshore Chinese yuan, while the Australian dollar rose 0.1% to US$0.7125, according to LSEG data.
