Thailand Baht
Ticker: THB=
Price: 31.57
Outlook
Asian emerging currency and stock markets lost more ground on Wednesday, with the Thai baht suffering from concerns about a struggling economy while the Malaysian ringgit fell after opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim claimed he had a majority in parliament.
This week’s strength of the US dollar continued to weigh, with the Taiwanese dollar a consistent outperformer, thanks to its tech-heavy economy, again the only outlier.
The baht dropped 0.5% against a buoyant greenback with investors expecting a central bank policy meeting later on Wednesday to lower the Bank of Thailand’s economic outlook for a tourist-focused economy that has seen no visitors since April.
BoT is more likely to extend credit or liquidity facilities as well as support for the bond market — both government and corporate.
The meeting also follows protests calling for the removal of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha and several cabinet resignations, which have thrown political uncertainty into the mix, further eroding investor confidence.
Concerns about rising coronavirus infections globally and the impact on growth have weighed on markets across Asia this week.
