In the third Asian trade, the pound edged lower on Wednesday after an overnight fall as Brexit hung in the balance, with the British Parliament still divided on how, when or even if to engineer Britain's departure from the European Union.

The yen rose against the US dollar and the Australian dollar as some investors sought a safe haven amid doubts about Brexit and efforts to de-escalate a bruising trade war between the United States and China.

A decline in equities and a rise in US Treasury prices in Asia underscored investors' aversion to taking on big risks as the drama over Britain's departure from the EU grows increasingly complex by the day.

The dollar was trading against the Indian rupee at Rs 70.915, the greenback was at 4.192 in terms of the Malaysian ringgit and the US currency was available at 7.083 versus the Chinese yuan.
