# Thailand eyes measures on 'huge' gold trading amid baht surge | Reuters

> Thailand is considering measures on gold trading that the central bank calls 'huge', which it links to the baht's surge. The baht has gained 10.3% against the dollar so far this year and is at its highest level in more than four years. It has become Asia's best-performing currency.

## Why it matters

A baht driven by gold flows rather than trade makes Thai rice exports more expensive, which can support Asian rice prices if it persists. Policy action to curb the rally could ease that pressure.
