# Thai Baht Outlook: Why Oil and Gold Outweigh Inflows

> The baht slid to about 33.76 per US dollar on October 27, near its three-month low, even as foreigners bought Thai stocks and bonds. OCBC attributes the weakness to oil above $115, gold below $4,000 and a firmer dollar, and the Bank of Thailand is expected to hold at 1.00%.

## Why it matters

Oil above $115 and a stronger dollar keep pressure on Thai import costs, which can slow Thai purchasing power for feed inputs. The impact on grain and feed prices is indirect.
