BANGKOK, July 12 (Reuters): Thailand's baht was stuck at a near 15-month low on Monday while Malaysian stocks missed out on a broader rally in Asian equities as investors fretted over rising coronavirus cases and deaths in the two countries.

The baht gave up 0.3% and held near its weakest mark since April 2020 - a level it hit in the previous session - after Thailand reported record Covid-19 cases over the weekend, including infections in medical workers who had received two doses of China's Sinovac vaccine.
