# Krungthai: Baht Opens Slightly Weaker, Nearly Unchanged, at 33.58 per Dollar | efin.finance

> Krungthai said the baht opened at 33.58 per dollar, slightly weaker than its previous-week close of 33.55. Better-than-expected U.S. employment data strengthened the dollar, while easing Middle East tensions and lower oil prices offered some support to the baht; markets were also watching U.S. inflation data.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar can make imported feed and farm inputs more expensive in Thailand, while lower oil prices may partly ease import-cost pressure. The reported currency move was modest, with markets weighing competing influences.
