World CurrenciesA currency is a unit of exchange, facilitating the transfer of goods and/or services. It is one form of money, where money is anything that serves as a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a standard of value. A currency is the dominant medium of exchange.To facilitate trade between currency zones, there are exchange rates, which are the prices at which currencies (and the goods and services of individual currency zones) can be exchanged against each other. Currencies can be classified as either floating currencies or fixed currencies based on their exchange rate regime.In common usage, currency sometimes refers to only paper money, as in coins and currency, but this is misleading.

The recent talk by the UAE of possibly repegging their currency to a basket rather than the dollar makes me bullish on the GCC region and GCC stocks. I am staying away from financial and real estate stocks in general but there are stocks with significant value in the GCC region. The fact that the possibility is being spoken in public is very significant and cannot be ignored.

Asian currencies slumped yesterday, with Indonesia's rupiah tumbling to a four-month low as fund managers shunned emerging-market debt and equity markets. Yesterday the Malaysian ringgit slipped to the lowest this month, the South Korean won had the first weekly drop in seven and the Philippine peso suffered the worst week since 2000. Stocks slumped across the region after new U.S. home sales fell more than economists predicted and companies scrapped debt sales because of waning demand for riskier investments. The rupiah declined as much as 1.2 percent to 9,253, the lowest since March 6, and traded at 9,225 against the dollar as of 3 p.m. yesterday in Jakarta. The ringgit slipped 0.6 percent to 3.4595, taking losses on the week to 1.5 percent. The won lost 0.7 percent this week to 921.70. Indonesia's below-investment grade debt makes it a target when investors cut emerging-market holdings to buy relatively safer securities. The central bank isn't

Asian currencies weakened, led by the Indonesian rupiah, after a tumble in global stocks cut investor appetite for emerging-market assets. The rupiah yesterday slipped as much as 1.5 percent, retreating from the strongest in almost a year, and the Malaysian ringgit fell from a more than eight-year high. The steepest drop in U.S. equities on May 10 in two months prompted fund managers to reduce so-called carry trades, in which they borrow and sell Japan's currency to fund higher-yielding investments. The rupiah dropped 1.1 percent to 8,855 against the dollar, after May 10 climbing as high as 8,735, the strongest in almost a year.

Indonesia's rupiah and the Philippine peso led declines in Asian currencies as fund managers pared riskier investments following a slump in equities. Indonesia's rupiah dropped to a three-month low and the Philippine peso fell the most in seven weeks. The Australian and New Zealand dollars slid the most in nine months against the yen as investors exited so-called carry trades, where they borrow in nations with low interest rates to invest in higher yields. Asian currencies ``are under pressure to weaken because of the withdrawal of funds from emerging markets,'' said Hideki Hayashi, a foreign-exchange strategist in Tokyo at Shinko Securities Co.
