Thai bank forecasts put the baht in a range of 33.40–33.80 per dollar, with another estimate at 33.40–33.65. The U.S. added 165,000 jobs in October, above expectations, and unemployment fell to 4.1%, supporting expectations of a December Fed rate hike; traders were also watching Middle East developments and foreign investment flows.
Stronger U.S. data and the prospect of higher U.S. rates can support the dollar against the baht, affecting the cost of imported feed and farm inputs in Thailand. The quoted ranges suggest a limited near-term move rather than a decisive shift.
