Free AccessUSD/THB Falters Despite Golden Cross & Local Covid Worry
Spot USD/THB has turned its tail in early trade, as USD weakness has outweighed concerns over Thailand's Covid-19 situation. The rate last sits -0.072 at THB31.290, even as the golden cross formation has materialised on the daily chart.
- The private sector (via Thai Chamber of Commerce chair) expressed readiness to support the gov't's attempts to speed out the vaccine roll-out. At least 14 malls and large offices in Bangkok will be transformed into vaccination sites, with search for more locations in other provinces ongoing.
- The mass vaccination scheme is likely to begin in June, with the Health Ministry expecting 16mn of seniors and people with underlying medical conditions to receive the jabs in Jun/Jul.
- The first AstraZeneca jabs produced in Thailand will be delivered in June, after Siam Bioscience received approval to manufacture the vaccines.
- Officials continue to debate new measures to contain the spread of infections. PM Prayuth chairs a meeting of the Covid-19 task force today at 14:00 local time to decide on fresh restrictions.
- The Finance Ministry's Fiscal Policy Office holds a briefing on its new economic forecasts.
- Thailand's BoP current account balance, trade data and the weekly update on the BoT's foreign reserves are all due Friday.
- The latest sell-off comes alongside a nearly completed bearish failure swing in the RSI. Should the index move below 57.58, bears could hope for a deeper sell-off.
- If USD/THB slides under Apr 19 low of THB31.173, a double top pattern would unfold, putting bears back in the driving seat. Conversely, a rebound above Apr 26 high of THB31.493 would allow bulls to take aim at Apr 12 cycle high of THB31.575.
