As soon as inflation levels were lower than expected, the market will anticipate lower interest rates, which will naturally mean a weaker pound.

Yes the Baht has surged due to the optimism of Thailand's new parliament but....... LONDON (Reuters - The pound fell on Wednesday after data showed UK inflation slowed faster than expected in June, relieving some of the pressure on the Bank of England to keep raising interest rates. British annual consumer price inflation fell to a lower than expected 7.9% in June, according to government statistics, below a forecast for a decline to 8.2%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to it than that. GBP gaining against USD today, yet still falling against THB, as is EUR . YUAN, however has shown a sharp rise against THB.
