The Thai baht exchange rate rose by nearly 1% to 32.985 baht per US dollar, the biggest increase since June 12. The Thai baht became the top performing currency in Asia on Thursday. Lloyd Chan, a foreign exchange analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, said, “Today's appreciation of the Thai baht was unexpected. This is not in line with the global market trend of higher US bond yields and rising oil prices.” “The price of oil is a key factor affecting the Thai baht, and its influence is greater than that of gold. Furthermore, the Bank of Thailand has been working to weaken the influence of gold prices on the Thai baht.”
