The baht opened on 3 Aug 2026 at 33.32 per dollar, stronger than Friday's close of 33.40. TTB expects a 24-hour range of 33.15–33.45. The move follows a weaker dollar after the Fed held rates and US-Japan yen intervention. Oil (WTI and Brent) fell over 4% after Trump called off strikes on Iran. For exporters, a firmer baht trims ringgit-style margins on dollar sales; for importers, dollar costs ease slightly. Watch Thailand's July inflation figure and Middle East developments this quarter.
