China's long-awaited move to revalue its currency was expected to boost stocks markets around the Asia-Pacific region Friday, mainly because the yuan's likely appreciation will lift the value of Asian currencies and assets with it, fund managers and analysts said. Hong Kong and other markets with China-related stocks, such as Taiwan and Singapore, will likely benefit more from the yuan revaluation than mainland-listed shares, which are less liquid and accessible only to a limited number of foreign investors.
