I am guessing with the deflection that nobody (at least here) was trading the upward movement other than in the rear-view mirror. Where I was hanging out (The BR Financial Centre) at the time, the True Believers were being shouted at to sell, but when BC was hitting 19K, the TBs yelled back that the price was going to the moon. Friend of mine cashed out $100K (not BC) but still in it for the longer run. Most of them are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still own some btc and other currencys but I can see the reluctance of people not wanting to disclose what they own or don't own on a pseudo anonymous forum where some people know each other personally, not to mention their ip addresses are logged to their accounts I also wouldn't take all my advice from BR, much better to take a wider view of the crypto stratosphere as its far too early to be calling tops and bottoms at this stage imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused regarding which date you were talking about. The forum showed me the time of your post as "yesterday at 4:00 am", but when I replied it says "On 6/16/2018 at 3:01 am OJAS said". That makes it clear you were talking about the 15th, not the 17th as I first thought. Agree with you, the Baht took a hit on the 15th and 16th and got a slight recovery late on the 17th, and I don't know why, either, so have nothing to contribute. Sigh.

The $USD : THB breached the 200 day ma on Friday. Having done so it took off. 200 week ma is at 33.93. OTH it could just be based on the news out of the Crown Property Bureau.

lannarebirth Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Quote Thai economic growth forecast projections up to 6% – World Bank The World Bank is looking to boost projections for growth in the Thai economy. In the last financial quarter, expansion of the Thai economy hit a five-year high. Ulrich Zachau, the World Bank’s director for Thailand and regional partnerships, says that a stable outlook and signs that Thai business is investing again domestically are among the positive factors for the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia.

Srikcir Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 2 minutes ago, lannarebirth said: expansion of the Thai economy hit a five-year high A very successful economic recovery that restores the economy to pre-2013 levels. That high came on the heels of the Democrats, their PRDC surrogates and the military junta crashing the Thai economy in the first place. Can you imagine a politician's campaign promise that if elected, he'll restore the economy after he crashes it - to return the nation after five years to an economic status quo? I doubt the Thai electorate would reward such a promise by electing (through their parliamentary representatives) that politician to the highest office in Government and access to the nation's treasury. Fortunately for Soldier Prayut, he needn't ever be concerned about electorate opposition nor his ability to use the Treasury as his personal wallet.

The important thing of note I found in the article is that there is now an open discussion of raising interest rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simoh1490 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 The SET is down 4% on the week, 5% on the month, it's still up 5% on the year. During the February correction western markets fell by 10%+, the SET only lost 1.46%, one of the lowest falls but today the story is different - GBP/THB is closing on 43, that's good for pensioners, I guess the SET bottom might be some way off yet hence THB is likely to fall further I guess.

Banana7 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 USD at 32.86 baht this morning in BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry921 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yeah the rate I watch (just because its easy to track consistently as a reference using my phone, not because it's a particularly good rate) was stuck at 31.6 for the longest time, maybe two weeks straight, but now it's 32.53, definitely a sustained material weakening. I guess if they wanted to raise interest rates to keep up with the US they could reverse some of that, but at the cost of slowing the economy. Given how strong the Baht has been, they probably feel its better to let the Baht weaken a little bit as a trade-off to keep the economy rolling along.
