0053 GMT - Most Asian currencies strengthen slightly against the dollar in early morning trading amid risk-on sentiment spurred by Wall Street's gains overnight. Further appreciation in Asian currencies is possible if broader pro-risk environment stays intact, two FX strategists at OCBC Group Research say in a research report. The greenback is likely to "trade on the back foot while sustained positive risk sentiment could support continued foreign inflows into the region," the strategists add. USD/KRW falls 0.2% to 1,423.22, USD/MYR edges 0.2% lower to 3.8800, and USD/SGD is down 0.1% at 1.2623, LSEG data show. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
