Thailand can't afford to reduce interest rates which not only will affect the Thais but also Foreigners. Inflations will certainly be a big problem if they do so and foreign funds will easily withdraw and park their $$$$ elsewhere that could give better returns.
This currency curb is just a temporary measure and I'm sure all the Top-level Ministers in Asia have been informed prior to the action.
yup..and the reversal on decision shows how unsure the thai govt is in taking steps..the moment it backfires on them they reverse it..but at least they realise their mistake and did smting rather than let it spiral..
Those stocks that are due for ther downtrend will downtrend anyway... just watch for it on their charts.
Damage is done already lah... people now quite scared to put money into Thailand.
STI recovered today but not enough to cover yesterday's carnage

In a virtual world where all markets are interlinked introducing new rules in the middle of the game can be fatal especially for small countries like asian tigers.
Fortunately the draconian rules have been diluted.Thailand should have reduced interest rate to ridiculously low levels like japan to prevent the currency from rising too fast
