On Lookout For Customs Trade Data

Spot USD/THB popped higher in early trade but has shed these gains since. It last trades flat at THB35.310. Bulls look for a jump above Jun 24 cycle high of THB35.573, which would bring Jan 9 high of THB35.799 into view. Bears need a retreat under Jun 16 low of THB34.830 to get some reprieve.
