# Baht out of luck: Thai currency slips as greenback flexes muscle | Thaiger

> The baht weakened as the US dollar gained after a temporary US-China tariff truce, with analysts forecasting a slide to 33.80 per dollar. The truce cut US duties on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% and Chinese duties on US goods from 125% to 10% for 90 days.

## Why it matters

The US-China tariff truce is significant for agricultural trade, but this article is about the baht, not feed flows. The dollar strength it describes is a currency effect with little direct price impact on feed.
