> Economists expect the baht to strengthen further as the China-U.S. tariff escalation drives foreign capital into Thai bonds. They also expect Thai exports to keep weakening. The article cites retaliatory tariffs of 5-10% on $75 billion of U.S. goods and a 15% increase on $300 billion of Chinese goods.

## Why it matters

Expected baht strength would lower the local-currency value of Thai export earnings and reduce the cost of dollar-priced imports. Weaker Thai export volumes also point to softer regional demand for agricultural and electronics shipments.
