MUFG highlights the Thai baht as a preferred expression of the Asian oil shock, citing September trade data showing the deficit widened to USD5.86bn from USD2.48bn as imports surged 50.4% year on year. MUFG expects the Bank of Thailand to hold its policy rate at 1.00% and sees USD/THB biased higher while oil stays elevated.
Higher oil import costs widen Thailand's trade gap and pressure the baht, which affects the cost of Thai-denominated purchases and regional feed-linked demand. The currency signal is tied to energy costs rather than directly to feed grain flows.
