The baht opened at 33.10 per dollar on January 13, 2023, stronger than the prior close of 33.36. Krungthai attributed the move to a softer-than-expected US CPI report, which pushed bets toward a smaller Fed rate hike.
WTI crude traded near $78 and Brent near $83.8 per barrel.
Expectations of a smaller Fed hike weaken the dollar and lower the baht cost of dollar-priced feed imports. The baht move is a routine market reading with modest direct effect on feed commodities.
