# KBANK assesses that 20-24 Nov. the baht will move at the level of 34.80-35.50 - Money & Banking Magazine

> Kasikornbank estimated the baht would trade between 34.80 and 35.50 per dollar for November 20 to 24 after reaching its strongest level in two and a half months. The currency was supported by weaker-than-expected US data that raised expectations the Fed had finished raising rates.
