Stricter Mobility Curbs Kick In, Cabinet Meets Today

THB

Spot USD/THB operates -0.025 at THB32.835 as we type, close to a fresh cycle high of THB32.903 printed yesterday. A firm push through the latter level would put bulls in a position to target Apr 2, 2020 high of THB33.177. On the flip side, a slide past Jul 13 low of THB32.540 would clear the way to Jul 6 low of THB32.067.

As a reminder, tighter mobility restrictions in 13 provinces most affected by the virus outbreak take effect today.
