Baht Strengthens After Holiday

THB

Spot USD/THB loses some altitude upon return from a long weekend in Thailand, with lower U.S. Tsy yields offering some support to the baht, on top of the overhang market impetus. The rate last sits -0.192 at THB38.178, with Oct 6 low of THB37.125 providing the key near-term layer of support. Bulls look for a break above Oct 20 high of THB38.465.
