0250 GMT - Thailand's consumer-price index in January likely rose 1.3% on year, according to the median estimate of seven economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal. That would compare with December's 1.23% increase. Inflation may have been driven by several factors, including a low base effect and rising energy prices, says DBS's economics team. Consumer inflation is expected to align with the Bank of Thailand's projections for headline inflation to stabilize around the lower bound of its 1%-3% target range, DBS adds. The data are due Wednesday. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
