Asian equities experienced a strong rally on Monday, fueled by China’s announcement of new measures to support its struggling markets. This boost in confidence helped to lift stocks across the region. However, currencies were facing a period of uncertainty, with the Thai baht leading the decline following local data that indicated a slowdown in economic growth.
China’s decision to implement measures to bolster its markets brought a sense of relief to investors, as they were concerned about the potential impact of the ongoing trade tensions with the United States. These new measures included a reduction in the reserve requirement ratio for banks, which would help to inject liquidity into the economy. As a result, Asian equities saw significant gains, with market sentiment being lifted across the region.
However, the currency market told a different story, with the Thai baht facing a decline due to concerns over the country’s slowing economic growth. This news led investors to question the overall stability of the economy and caused a sell-off of the Thai currency. Despite this, other regional currencies were relatively stable, as they awaited further developments in the ongoing trade negotiations and economic data releases.
