Session highs rest at 36.185, which is very close to highs from last week (36.19). A clean break higher is likely to see early Nov 2023 highs at 36.33 targeted, beyond that rests the 36.50 level.

  • Fallout from the baht continues follow PM Srettha's call for an unscheduled BOT meeting and a rate cut. As we have highlighted previously, dovish BoT divergence from the Fed is likely to undermine THB all else equal.
  • Potential erosion of BoT independence with be another concern for investors . Note the next scheduled BoT meeting is for April 10.
  • In the cross asset space, local equities are around flat in the first part of dealing, with the SET generally missing the uptrend in global equities in recent months.
