An easy guess that it might drop a couple full points amid the upcoming new "opening" dates. By July we might see the Baht holding at 36 + In a round about convoluted manner, it benefits most everyone - even the domestic circles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post saakura Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) General elections are due in less than 12 months, so huge loads of cash stashed abroad will need to be brought back and converted to Baht for buying votes, so we can expect this to drop a bit more and be at that level for a while.

S&P is falling because of FED rate hike (which leads to higher dollar value) and FED control of money and investors are drumming up the fear of a US recession. A good time to buy as much BAHT as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to take a break and resume its gain again maybe by next year if no recession hits or within another three years if a recession hits.
