Emerging markets: Thai stocks muted as protests continue; Malaysian ringgit at near four-week low


KULA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Reuters): Malaysian stocks slipped on Monday as the South-East Asian nation's prime minister faced political uncertainty after his request to declare a state of emergency was rejected by the king, with other markets in the region also trading lower.

Broader Asian stock markets dropped after a surge in Covid-19 cases in the United States and Europe rattled hopes of a global economic recovery, building on uncertainty posed by the looming U.S. presidential election.
