The baht opened at 33.60 per US dollar on 1 Oct 2026, close to Wednesday's 33.58 close, with a 24-hour expected range of 33.50–33.90. US PCE inflation came in below forecasts, which weakened the dollar slightly. Foreign investors net sold 10,735 million baht of Thai stocks and 1,111 million baht of Thai bonds the previous day. The bigger mover this week is expected to be the US nonfarm payrolls report on Friday night. For importers and exporters, this is a small daily move; if you pay in dollars or sell in dollars, check your rate against the 33.50–33.90 band before committing to a large payment.
