Sentiment toward Asian currencies was generally better than two weeks ago, according to a survey of 18 fund managers, currency traders and analysts conducted from Tuesday through Thursday.
Bets on the Malaysian ringgit turned bullish for the first time since April last year, and long positions in the currency rose to their highest level since August 2014, the Reuters poll showed.
Bets also turned bullish in the Philippine peso, Thai baht and South Korean won.
Bullish bets in the baht rose to the highest since April 2015. The baht has climbed recently amid signs of foreign investor inflows into Thailand's bond market.
Sentiment toward the won was also the most bullish since last April. The won had gained a lift last week after South Korea's central bank kept interest rates unchanged and its chief suggested he was not ready to ease policy soon.
