Thai Baht Gains as Economy Grows

The Thai baht gained today on the speculation that the policy makers won’t prevent the appreciation of the currency as the economic growth increases the inflation pressure.

The report today showed that Thailand’s economy expanded in 2010 with the fastest pace since 1995. The fast economic growth of the Asian countries causes the imbalances in the global economy and the Asian governments may allow their currencies to appreciate and reduce the import gains.

USD/THB fell from 30.5750 to 30.5450 as of 14:53 GMT today.
