The Thai baht climbed to 33.31 baht per US dollar for the first time since October 21 last year. This was mainly driven by factors such as the weakening of the US dollar and the price of gold. Thailand is a major gold trading center in the region, and its currency is closely linked to the price of gold. Poon Panichpibool, market strategist at Tyrone Bank, said, “The excellent performance of the Thai baht is due to the sharp rise in gold prices. Analysts are wary of a short-term rebound, as a pullback in gold prices may put pressure on the Thai baht. Panichpibool said the Thai baht is still facing depreciation pressure from deteriorating fundamentals, such as the weak tourist season, the impact of trade tension, and the return of dividends from foreign investors.
