# Thai Baht: Pressured by record deficit against US Dollar – Commerzbank

> Thailand's April trade deficit widened to a record US$10.0bn, far above the consensus of US$5.3bn, marking the seventh consecutive monthly deficit. USD/THB slipped to 32.55 despite portfolio inflows, and the baht is down 3.2% year-to-date. Authorities warned the baht could stay under pressure if strong imports persist.

## Why it matters

A weaker baht and record deficit reflect higher oil import costs, which matter for feed-buyer costs in Thailand but have no direct grain or feed supply effect.
