# Krungthai says baht opens stronger at 33.42 per dollar

> The baht opened at 33.42 per dollar, stronger than its previous close of 33.54, after trading in a 33.37–33.55 range overnight. The report said hopes for easing US-Iran tensions and falling crude prices weakened the dollar, although hawkish Federal Reserve comments limited its decline.

## Why it matters

A stronger baht lowers the local-currency cost of imported feed and energy, and cheaper crude can reduce broader input-cost pressure. The reported changes are modest market movements, not a new supply or demand shock.
