Baht falls to 18-month low

The Thai baht Tuesday fell to an 18-month low of Bt34.9598 against the greenback, prompting the Bank of Thailand (BOT) to step into the market to curb volatility.

The baht opened at Bt34.385 to a dollar before slumping to Bt34.9598, its weakest since April 2007. It closed at Bt34.9093.

A treasury dealer said the baht depreciated in line with other currencies in the region before moving in A narrow range in the afternoon. The central bank apparently stepped into the market to stop the rapid change in the value of the currency.
