The baht opened at 32.90 per US dollar, up from Wednesday's close of 33.00, with a 24-hour range of 32.80–33.10 expected. The move follows a softer dollar after a Fed governor said he would back holding rates this month if inflation pressure keeps easing. Foreign investors were net buyers of Thai stocks (1,955 million baht) and Thai bonds (2,325 million baht) the previous day. For importers, check whether your dollar costs and quotes need repricing; for exporters, a stronger baht trims baht revenue from dollar sales, so keep an eye on the range before fixing prices or forward contracts.
