EMERGING MARKETS-Asian FX trades in tight range, Singapore dollar up on inflation data
* Singapore April core inflation beats forecast * Thai baht hits lowest level since March 15 * South Korean won appreciates 0.5% By Jaskiran Singh May 23 (Reuters) - Singapore's dollar inched higher on Tuesday after a key consumer price gauge rose more than expected last month, while most other Asian currencies traded in a tight range as expectations that U.S. rates will remain elevated for longer boosted the dollar. The Singapore dollar appreciated 0.2% after data showed core inflation, which excludes private road transport and accommodation costs, rose 5% year-on-year in April, while a Reuters poll of economists had forecast a 4.7% increase. Lower inflation for electricity, gas, food, retail and other goods was offset by higher inflation for travel-related services, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the trade ministry said in a joint statement.
