Aug 29 (Reuters) -A gauge for emerging markets stocks slipped on Thursday as bourses with heavy chipmaker exposure fell after Nvidia's quarterly results failed to impress investors, while most currencies were muted ahead of economic data.
As of 0830 GMT, MSCI's index for emerging market stocks .MSCIEF was down 0.3%, as bourses in South Korea .KS11 and Taiwan .TWII fell close to 1% each with shares of chip-making firms leading the selloff.
U.S. firm Nvidia's NVDA.O quarterly forecast late on Wednesday failed to meet the lofty expectations of investors who have driven a dizzying rally in its stock as they bet billions on the future of generative artificial intelligence.
"Nvidia is the flagbearer for the AI revolution, but investors tend to overstate the importance of one set of quarterly results in the grand scheme of AI," Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown said.
Bourses in emerging Europe were broadly higher with shares in Prague .PX leading gains, last up 0.7%.
A gauge for currencies .MIEM00000CUS added 0.1%, with the Chinese yuan CNY=CFXS hitting a more than seven-month high in onshore trading. The offshore yuan CNH= also gained 0.3%.
Currencies in Central Eastern Europe were largely stable, with Poland's zloty EURPLN=, Hungary's forint EURHUF= and the Czech crown EURCZK= all trading near flat against the euro.
South Africa's rand ZAR=D3 perked up 0.6% ahead of the release of domestic producer inflation data, while the Malaysian ringgit MYR= led gains across emerging Asia with a 0.4% rise against the dollar.
Focus will be on U.S. weekly jobless claims due later in the day, which have gained prominence given the Federal Reserve's focus on the health of the labour market.
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.
Elsewhere in emerging markets, Kazakhstan's central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 14.25%, saying inflationary risks have increased and there was a high probability the rate would remain on hold until the end of this year. The tenge KZT= was flat at 481.2 per dollar.
