EMERGING MARKETS-Philippine peso, Thai baht fall among mixed Asian currencies
* Peso slips most in nearly four weeks * Thai baht falls from a near 2-month high * China factory activity contracts in August By Sameer Manekar Sept 1 (Reuters) - The Philippine peso and the Thai baht weakened over half a percent each on Wednesday, leading declines among largely mixed Asian currencies as a slew of soft regional economic data as well as from the United States and China weighed on the sentiment. The Philippine peso slipped as much as 0.8% to 50.03 per dollar after data showed manufacturing activity contracted in August as compared with last month, while the Thai baht slipped from a near two-month high scaled in the previous session. A raft of IHS Markit data showed factory activity in Asia lost momentum in August due to a resurgence in coronavirus cases, with China - the region's biggest trading partner - logging a contraction for the first time since April last year.

The baht extended its gains into a third consecutive session, appreciating as much as 0.4% to hit a near two-month high, while the Indonesian rupiah rose for a second day to scale a near one-month high. The U.S. dollar index hovered near its two-week lows against a basket of currencies, stabilising from falls after Powell's speech last week that offered no clear signs on the central bank's plan to cut its asset purchases.
