The Thai baht traded near 33.8 per US dollar, its weakest since July, after the Bank of Thailand unanimously held rates at 1.00% for a fourth straight meeting. The central bank raised its 2026 and 2027 GDP forecasts and noted that a widened trade deficit and higher oil costs add external pressure.
A weaker baht alongside a firmer dollar reflects oil-driven import pressure in Thailand, a market for feed imports. The move is largely a currency and energy story with no direct grain price catalyst.
