Hi friends,

The US dollar rate set by K.Tarisa is 35.85 The offshore rate for the greenback is back up at 35 .

The pound equivalent where the onshore rate is 70 , the offshore rate is now at 69

The reason for this dramatic change is a matter of speculation but its clear that it won't be long before there is again just one unified rate for the baht .

Do readers have any theories as to the reasons for this convergance and whether the onshore rate could now weaken also ?

someone has figured out how to arbitrage the difference, and so the opportunity is going away. Or speculation decreasing on one side, to balance.

Truly fascinating. Right up there with reading porn on the net.

Jeez, and I thought Bourse Topfield had gone missing!

since when is the $US rate set by Tarisa?

...which probably didn't involve flying down to Singapore with 1000 baht note in pocket and flying back to change the Sing dollar back into baht.
