TAKE A LOOK-Asia inflation: Korea, Indonesia, Thailand

South Korean inflation in July slid far more than expected to more than a
12-year low as the economy cooled, reinforcing the market's growing view for a
back-to-back interest rate cut next week.
Indonesia, meanwhile, reported a slight pick-up in inflation for July due to
a jump in food prices ahead of the Muslim fasting month, adding pressure on the
central bank to keep its policy rate steady despite slumping exports.
Thailand's inflation rate rose more than expected but still gives the
central bank room to hold or cut rates if necessary if global risks jeopardize
the economy's recovery from massive flooding late last year.
