Key Quotes

“In our update from last Monday (27 Sep, spot at 33.67), we highlighted that ‘overbought conditions coupled with early signs of waning momentum indicates that USD/THB is unlikely to strengthen from here’ and we expected USD/THB to ‘trade between 33.40 and 33.95.”

“USD/THB subsequently traded between 33.63 and 33.99. Upward momentum has waned further and the chance for USD/THB to break the rising trend-line support (currently at 33.60) has increased.”

“A break of the trend-line would indicate that the USD/THB strength from early September has run its course.”
