BANGKOK, Feb 8 (Reuters): Asian currencies were largely flat on Tuesday as investors placed cautious bets ahead of the US inflation data while the Thai baht held a narrow lead, aided by talks on bilateral travel bubble deals with Malaysia and China to boost its economy.
The baht firmed 0.2% and stocks rose 0.3% as the government worked to help the tourism-reliant economy recover in the face of rising new Covid-19 cases, with traders looking forward to a central bank policy meeting on Wednesday.
