# Krungthai: Baht Opens Slightly Weaker at 33.46 per Dollar

> The baht opened at 33.46 per dollar, weakening slightly from the previous close of 33.40, and traded in a 33.37–33.48 range overnight. Risk aversion tied to a selloff in U.S. technology shares and Middle East uncertainty supported the dollar and crude oil, while reduced expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike limited the dollar’s gains.

## Why it matters

A weaker baht raises the local-currency cost of imported feed and energy, while higher crude prices can increase production and transport costs. The reported FX and oil moves point to modestly higher import-cost pressure.
