> KASIKORN Research projects the baht will trade between 32.50 and 32.80 per dollar in the week of December 4-8 after reaching a 31-month high. The move followed US Senate approval of a sweeping tax overhaul and a stronger-than-expected third-quarter US GDP. Dollar weakness also followed reports that Michael Flynn may implicate Trump in the Russia investigation.
