Aug 28 (Reuters) -Most emerging market currencies edged lower on Wednesday as the dollar firmed, with the market focused on economic data due later this week to gauge the global monetary policy path.
MSCI's emerging market currencies index .MIEM00000CUS was down 0.1% at 0820 GMT, while stocks .MSCIEF were flat.
China's yuan CNY=CFXS edged 0.04% lower to 7.1267 per dollar, down for the third straight session as the greenback firmed. The currency CNY= was flat in offshore trading.
The dollar index =USD, which measures the U.S. currency against a basket of six global peers, was up 0.2%, though pinned at its lowest level of the year.
EM currencies were boosted last week as the dollar sagged on dovish comments by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, with the focus now on the size of an interest rate cut.
The Fed's preferred inflation measure - the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index - due Friday, could offer hints on the size of a potential rate cut in September.
"There is probably some room for a small rebound in the dollar as the effect of Powell's Jackson Hole speech wears off and risk sentiment softens," said Francesco Pesole, an FX strategist at ING.
"And while Powell's explicit rate cut guidance has some significance, investors had fully priced in easing well before Jackson Hole and the negative USD reaction to the speech looked a bit overdone from the onset."
Israel's shekel ILS= appreciated 0.3% against the dollar ahead of the Bank of Israel's (BoI) interest rate decision, with consensus tilted towards keeping short-term interest rates unchanged for a fifth straight meeting.
Economists remain uncertain over the timing of a rate cut due to rising price pressures and the Israel-Hamas war, a Reuters poll showed.
An all-out military conflict with Hezbollah or Iran could have significant "credit consequences" for Israeli debt issuers, credit ratings agency Moody's said on Tuesday.
South Africa's rand ZAR=D3 slipped 0.2%, while the local stock index .JTOPI was flat.
Global equities were muted, with focus squarely on Nvidia's NVDA.O quarterly results due later in the day.
Equities in emerging Europe were mixed, with the Turkish benchmark .XU100 outpacing peers with an 0.5% rise, while Poland .WIG20 lagged with a 0.5% decline.
In Asia, the South Korean won KRW= led losses with a 0.7% fall, while the Thai baht THB= weakened 0.2%.
India's NSE Nifty 50 stock index .NSEI touched a record high on Wednesday, while Chinese shares .SSEC, .CSI300 closed slightly lower.
