0536 GMT - Asian currencies mostly weaken against dollar during the regional trading session, as high oil prices spurred by the Middle East conflict stoke fears of slower economic growth in the region. The Iran "crisis is already acutely affecting Asia economies," MUFG Bank's Michael Wan says in a report. If this drags on further, it will probably lead to energy shortages across the Asian region, the senior currency analyst says. The dollar rises 0.2% to 93.9240 rupees after earlier touching a record high of 93.9740 rupees, LSEG data show. The dollar is also 0.2% higher at 159.48 yen and up 0.2% at 1,508.20 won.
