Emerging markets - Thai baht scales five-month high on foreign inflows

BANGKOK Feb 15 (Reuters): The Thai baht hit a five-month high on Tuesday, as higher gold prices and continued foreign fund flows into stocks and bonds boosted the currency, while concerns surrounding Ukraine weighed on most other Asian currencies.

The South Korean won declined 0.7% in its worst session since Dec. 20, retreating after Monday's 0.6% gain. The Indonesian rupiah rose, while the Philippine peso and the Indian rupee eased.
