against the UK pound not the Euro or not the dollar only UK pound

Sorry my ball's gone all cloudy

I don't see the baht going anywhere but I can't say the same for the other.

Asking the wrong question; you should be looking at what the pound sterling is likely to do against the US$. That is what determines the rate against the Bhat.

Almost every country is in turmoil, so they are numb to this.

 

The Baht won't plummet or else it would have done so by now.

 

In fact, I foresee opening up tourism to Chinese will see the Baht getting stronger in the future.

For a very  long time many analysts  have tried to suggest that the  Asian economies will be positioned to stay strong comparatively to declining "accepted" western strongholds including  the $US.

The Thai  Baht has been an example of  stability despite political turmoils because it has remained productive.

Even now with the  global impact of the pandemic and even the resurgence of political agitations it continues  to maintain a relative stability .

The UK currency in a similar situation is and has been subsiding because there is no  basis to  claim stability on any  genuine premise. Brexit  introduced  it and  Covid-19 has accelerated  that by eliminating even viable identifiable destination of surviving  productivity.

And why would that be, because the Baht was decoupled from the US$ more than 20 years ago

Because the US$ is a reserve currency.

 

Look at historical data,  it tends to be if the pound is up against the $ it's up against the Bhat, same as the reverse.

I predict that it might go up or down

If Biden wins I think the dollar will plummet - $ will not do good under far left Biden if he carries through all his policies. If we can sort out the Brexit issues, the dollar crashes and thailands baht finally gives up the ghost of the silly high rates, maybe we can get back to 55 to the £ ! So, in my mind the £ will go up in 6 months or so.

 

Course, biden might abandon his left wing promises when he sees the true cost and debt, brexit may go even more bits up and Thailand want a new sub.

Wooow.

If wishfull thinking were an olympic disciplin, this post would get gold, silver and bronze.

Obviously, the combination of very low pensions and a strong baht makes some posters edgy.

Wow, I am not sure how everyone could jump from the Thai Baht to the Pound to Fishing in British waters.  It was interesting to read, but far, far off-topic. 

 

Please stick to the topic.

 

Since history repeats itself, looking at the historical trends of the Baht vs Pound is a good start to predicting what's going to happen in the future. Especially now that 2020 and it's extreme unpredictability is almost over.

That chart means nothing, the pound is not going back to 70 to the baht. Doubtful it falls much further too, most likely it will stay where it is.

Biden "far left"?  ????  Far Left does not exist in USA.  You mean like "commie"?

 

PS:  When is The Great American Election Show going to be over?  [Why do] we all have to watch it?  Another sort of "reality show."

What a freak show it is.

Pound will only get stronger as the shackles from the EU are finally off as its already priced in, might take a year or two. IMHO

Wishful thinking, given the COVID crisis and the no deal. Pound might get stronger in the long run as brexit uncertainty smooths out and the euro is a house of cards, but it will take years. For now it will stay where it is, slightly up or down.

   History doesnt repeat itself though , you cannot predict the future exchange rates going by the pasts exchange rates , its n0t a circle 

Hmm...you guys don't think the baht is manipulated??? All Thai economics are very bleak at best and the baht remains solid! Ask the Fed if they manipulate to keep the dollar sustainable...!

Well with Boris announcing  a months lockdown over the Corivirus from next Thursday  and Brexit talks not going well

Plus the American election dependant who wins how the $ does

I think the pound  is going to have a interesting time coming up

Can i ask you what education you have had in economics ?

 

As long as Thailand exports more then it imports the demand for Baht stays high and so will the currency.  Just take a look at the Thai trade balance.

Yes will take a few years to see the destruction Brexit did then the expats will be crying about being wrong.

The Baht itself won't change much on the FX but the pound will drop all by itself, a toxic mixture of Brexit, covid lockdowns and debt it can't afford.
