Summary · why it matters

The financial markets group at Siam Commercial Bank assesses that the baht today is moving in a range of 32.95 to 33.20 per dollar. The baht has strengthened rapidly in line with higher gold prices after buying increased when prices broke through a key resistance level. This comes as Iran disclosed that it reached an agreement with Oman on shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, leading to continued low crude oil prices. Meanwhile, Thailand's inflation in July stood at 1.95 percent compared with the same period last year, slowing from the previous month's 2.42 percent and coming in below market expectations. In the United States, preparations are underway to impose import tariffs and set a minimum price for polysilicon imports to promote domestic production using the material.
