Thai Bond Sell-off Surges Amid Political Tensions and Rate Worries
Foreign investors are pulling out of Thai government bonds in droves, driven largely by political instability and the Bank of Thailand's hesitance to further cut interest rates. In a significant move, over US$850 million has been withdrawn this month alone, making it the largest outflow since August last year, as per the Thai Bond Market Association. The stress on the Thai bond market stems from several factors. Political uncertainty looms large, with ongoing probes into the ruling party's alleged ties to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Financial experts suggest that the political climate is likely to deter investment interest for the foreseeable future, especially with the backdrop of the upcoming US presidential elections and speculation around potential trade reprisals. At the heart of investor concern is the Bank of Thailand's reluctance to match last week's unexpected rate cut with further reductions, despite government pressures. This cautious stance leaves the bond market in a precarious position, with yields currently stabilized between 2.3% and 2.4%, according to Krungthai Bank Public Co. The economic milieu is further complicated by the tougher competition Thai bonds face from neighbouring countries. Malaysia's fiscal reforms, for example, are making it an attractive alternative for foreign investors. Coupled with a falling yield gap between Thai bonds and US Treasuries, now at its lowest since May, investors like Abrdn plc are finding more lucrative opportunities elsewhere. For dollar-based investors, returns on Thai bonds have slumped by 3.3% this month. Market forecasts currently reflect a mere 50% chance of another BoT rate cut, constraining the potential for yield improvements in the near term. Despite mounting trade war fears potentially influencing BoT's future policy, experts like Poon Panichpibool predict little room for yields to dip further. In short, the Thai bond market finds itself at a crossroads, grappling with both internal and external pressures. As the situation unfolds, eyes remain fixed on regional stability and the Bank of Thailand's next moves. File photo for reference only -- 2024-10-24 -

Foreigner Wrecks Chiang Mai Stall After Smoking Ban Warning
I keep the matter that a large percentage of Thais have no wish to have anything to do with a European in my head all the time. Most of the time if they are receiving money from you there is a different attitude sad to say. -

Deadlocked Between Trump and Harris in NBC News Poll as Election Approaches
CNN is onto Kamala's mental deficiencies, lies, focus only on Trump, devoid of policy and ability to articulate on it when asked. A very failed candidate indeed hardly capable of using what remains in that vast, empty cavity between her ears. If the assassinations weren't foiled and/or Biden managed to somehow jail Trump NOBODY would have ever witnessed the absolute stupidity of this fraud of a candidate undemocratically installed, on display for all to see each and every time she opened her mouth.

Motorcyclists Who Wear Specs.
How can you wear specs when you are riding a motorbike with a full face helmet? I ask because I am damaging my sunglasses by wearing them with my full face helmet if you see what I mean. What about guys who wear normal specs all the time? How can you wear your specs without damaging them by squeezing them in to fit your ears? -

What did you have for breakfast?
I normally don't eat breakfast. Normally just a big mug of black coffee. First meal is around noon.
