Asian currencies are headed for their biggest quarterly loss since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, having been battered by China's recent surprise devaluation of China's currency, known as the Yuan, together with the sluggish Chinese economy and exports, as well as the prospect of an interest rate increase by the US central bank, the Fed, in the near future.
The Yuan fell the most in 1 1/2 years as an economic downturn worsened in China.
Malaysia's currency, the Ringgit, was affected the most with a 15% slide as oil prices retreated and Prime Minister Najib Razak was caught up in a corruption investigation.
Thailand's baht dropped 7.1%, its worst performance since 1999.
