BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - The terrorist bombings in Bangkok that rang in the New Year dealt a fresh blow to investors' confidence in the Thai economy, already shaken by a year of political turmoil and inept efforts to control the value of the baht, analysts said Monday.
A long holiday weekend provided a short cooling-off period after the Sunday night bombings killed three and injured 38, but weakness in currency and capital markets is expected when trading resumes.
Foreign exchange trading will commence in offshore markets on Tuesday, while local currency trading and the Stock Exchange of Thailand will reopen Wednesday.
