> The Bank of Thailand said the Thai-US interest rate gap poses limited risk of capital outflows because markets have already priced it in. Net international reserves exceed US$300 billion and cover short-term external debt 2.8 times. The central bank said movements in the baht were mainly driven by the US dollar.

## Why it matters

A stable baht with strong reserves limits near-term import cost inflation for Thai feed buyers. This reduces the risk of a sharp currency-driven rise in landed feed ingredient prices.
