SINGAPORE, Feb 27 (Reuters) - The Indian rupee set a

three-month peak and the Thai baht hovered at a four-month high

on Monday, as investors looked to U.S. President Donald Trump's

speech to Congress later this week for fresh catalysts.

The Thai baht rose to 34.85 per dollar. That

matched Friday's peak, which was the highest in almost four

months.

The Indian rupee touched a high of 66.645, its

strongest level since Nov. 10.

Emerging Asian currencies such as the baht and Indian rupee

held firm ahead of Trump's speech to the joint session of

Congress due on Tuesday.

Trump will use the event to preview some elements of his

sweeping plans to cut taxes for the middle class, simplify the

tax system and make American companies more globally competitive

with lower rates and changes to encourage U.S. manufacturing,

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox News Channel's

"Sunday Morning Futures" programme.

Uncertainty over whether Trump will offer enough details on

his plans for infrastructure spending and tax reforms, were

helping to weigh on the dollar, traders said.

"The market is positioning for disappointment," said Stephen

Innes, a senior trader for FX broker OANDA in Singapore.

"Traders are going to start asking themselves undoubtedly,

the longer the tax reform gets played out, is the market's

expectations too high?"

At the same time, traders will probably be wary of selling

the dollar aggressively ahead of Trump's address, Innes said.

The Indonesian rupiah showed limited reaction to news

that Indonesian police exchanged gunfire with an attacker after

a reported explosion in a government building in the city of

Bandung.

The rupiah hardly moved after the news, and was last down

0.1 percent on the day at 13,345. The rupiah remains

within its trading range so far in February of between 13,385 to

13,280.
