USD/THB Rests Upon Trendline Support

THB

Spot USD/THB has ground lower this morning, descending onto trendline support at THB29.920, which has limited losses so far. The rate last changes hands at THB29.923, in the wake of a poor showing from the greenback in overnight trade.

  • Late doors on Tuesday, Thai Cabinet gave a nod to a THB19.7bn motorway project as well as subsidy programmes for rice (THB28bn) and palm oil (THB8.8bn) farmers.
  • House Speaker Chuan Leekpai said that the ruling party's petition to the Constitutional Court re: the no-confidence motion would not affect the schedule for the censure debate, expected to begin on Feb 16.
  • A clean breach of the aforementioned trendline support, intersecting at THB29.920, would draw attention to Dec 18 low of THB29.757. Conversely, a jump above the 50-DMA at THB30.047 would expose Feb 5 high of THB30.132.
  • Looking ahead, the BoT will release its weekly update on foreign reserves on Friday.
