Thai Baht: Recovery seen shallow without USD fade – OCBC
Christopher Wong at OCBC notes USD/THB’s recent rebound is running into interim resistance around 33.40 after a sharp move higher. Bank of Thailand officials attribute THB weakness mainly to broad USD strength and Thai equity outflows, while signalling readiness to manage excessive FX moves. Softer Oil may slow USD/THB upside, but THB recovery could stay shallow unless USD momentum fades and Gold prices stabilise.
Interim resistance caps rebound
"USD/THB’s rebound is showing signs of running into interim resistance around the 33.40 levels, after a sharp move higher last week."
"BoT officials recently attributed THB weakness mainly to broad USD strength and Thai equity outflows, while also signalling readiness to manage excessive FX moves."
"Overall, softer oil can help slow USD/THB upside, but THB recovery may remain shallow unless USD momentum fades, oil stay contained portfolio outflows and gold prices stabilise."
"Support at 33.20, 33 levels. Resistance at 33.41 (61.8% fibo retracement of 2025 high to 2026 low)."
"USD/THB last seen at 33.28 levels. Mild bullish momentum on daily chart remains intact though RSI shows signs of easing from overbought conditions. Retracement lower not ruled out."

High interest rates are not the "end" of US stocks? Is profitability the real key?
JPMorgan believes that profit growth is the key factor determining the resilience of U.S. stock valuations. Data since 1950 shows an "inverted U-shaped" relationship between the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and S&P 500 valuations. Based on current profit levels, yields would need to reach about 5%-6% to significantly compress valuations. As long as profit growth remains above 15%, there is still room for valuations to be re-rated. If the yield curve steepens in a bear market, cyclical sectors such as energy and financials will benefit more; if it flattens, technology stocks will have a relative advantage.
